About Samantha
Counsellor Samantha Hill is a BACP-registered practitioner with seven years' experience working in the UK. She lists relationship, family and parenting concerns among her main areas. She also sees people for self-esteem, stress and anxiety, addiction, grief and intimacy-related issues.
Samantha started her career in addiction and trauma work. She moved into private practice and now focuses on relationship problems, family conflict, boundaries and communication. She also notes experience with emotional abuse and narcissistic dynamics.
Her approach draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and emotionally focused work. Sessions aim to identify patterns of thought and feeling, and to try practical steps that help day-to-day coping. Mindfulness and attachment ideas also inform her way of working.
The therapist describes offering coaching on lifestyle factors such as habit change, work-life balance, diet and exercise alongside counselling. These are presented as complementary to the talking work rather than a separate medical service.
Samantha works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are supplied through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small changes that help someone live in line with what matters to them, which can help with anxiety, stress and addiction issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and practical plans to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood and coping with life changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) draws on attachment ideas to look at emotional responses in close relationships. It can help people who struggle with intimacy, communication or repeated conflict.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will review a person's needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That discussion is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
The original biography does not state specific online session formats. Please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, or who need sessions outside normal working hours.
