About Samantha
Samantha Walding is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief and anger, among other concerns. She frames the person as the expert in their own life and treats strengths as tools to move forward.
Her approach starts with listening. She uses Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas to understand how past relationships and early patterns affect current reactions. That helps when anger is rooted in feeling abandoned, jealous, ashamed or isolated.
Samantha also draws on Solution-Focused methods to set manageable goals. Sessions can include practical steps to reduce snapping, contain resentment and improve communication. She works in straightforward terms and encourages small, repeatable changes between meetings.
Over two decades she has supported people with a range of concerns that often overlap with anger - substance issues, intimacy problems, low self-esteem and the fallout from separation. Those themes are explored alongside immediate anger triggers and practical coping strategies.
Samantha offers sessions in English and accepts international enquiries. Her BACP credential is noted as part of her professional standing in the UK. To begin, clients follow the online matching and booking process set out on the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches come across online
Samantha draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Solution-Focused ideas to guide online work. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape present reactions and can help when anger links to abandonment or jealousy. Client-Centred work focuses on clear listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel understood and can make sense of their responses. Solution-Focused work sets short-term, practical steps to change how anger plays out day to day, such as simple communication tools or small behavioural experiments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Samantha works collaboratively to decide which methods to use, based on the person’s goals, patterns and what feels most workable. That means reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan as things change.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit a regular check-in around work, take a shorter phone-style session when bandwidth is low, or use a camera session when visual cues help a conversation. Registered or accredited professionals will help match timing and format to what best supports progress without assuming a particular service.
