About Samantha

Samantha Walding is a counsellor who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She uses a calm, respectful approach and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Samantha welcomes people dealing with relationship problems, addictions, grief and difficult life changes.

She trained and practises with a focus on how relationships shape wellbeing. That includes attachment-based ideas about how early bonds affect current feelings and closeness.

Background and approach

Samantha also uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters most to each person. Her work draws on psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns that repeat over time. This helps people understand why they react in certain ways and gives options for change.

Solution-focused techniques are used alongside this to set small, achievable goals and make progress between sessions. Samantha holds BACP accreditation, which reflects professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has twenty years of experience working with adults across a wide range of concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. In practical terms Samantha offers flexible online sessions. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.

She encourages a collaborative pace so people feel ready to explore and heal.

Ways of working Samantha names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How attachment, client-centred and online work fit together

Samantha uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. This approach helps people make sense of recurring fears about closeness, abandonment or trust and is useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

She also works in a client-centred way, offering attentive listening and reflection so each person’s priorities guide the pace. This style suits people who want a non-judgemental space to think things through and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose techniques and set small goals, then review what is working as therapy progresses.

Online sessions allow flexibility in how people connect. Video calls give richer visual contact, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits those who prefer shorter check-ins or need written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work while facing change.
