About Samantha
Samantha Walding is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and anger. She also supports those dealing with depression, self‑esteem concerns and the strain of life changes.
Samantha thinks clients know their own stories and brings that view into the sessions. She uses a calm, direct style to help people recognise patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often involve talking through what happens in tense moments and trying small, practical changes between meetings.
Her background includes long experience with attachment issues and relational problems. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and how these play out now. That helps when people notice repeated cycles of avoidance, jealousy, or feelings of abandonment.
Samantha also uses solution‑focused and client‑centred methods to set concrete, short‑term goals. That can be useful for managing anger, reducing everyday stress, or coping with addictions. These methods aim for achievable steps people can try between sessions.
People who are used to talking things through will find direct conversation here. Samantha usually works at a steady pace and checks progress regularly. If someone wants a clear plan for handling strong emotions, she will help map out practical options and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Samantha uses attachment‑based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses. This approach helps when anger is linked to feeling abandoned, jealous, or cut off from others and it focuses on patterns in close relationships.She also uses client‑centred methods that emphasise listening and the person’s own priorities. That approach supports people who want to talk things through and set their own goals, whether for managing temper or improving day‑to‑day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss what fits best and will help decide whether to focus on past patterns, immediate problem solving, or a mix. That choice is made together based on needs, goals and preferences.
