Samantha Hill

Samantha Hill is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges and the effects of narcissistic or emotional abuse. She supports people dealing with low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, intimacy problems, sleep and eating concerns, and ADHD. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping people make small, steady changes that feel manageable.

With seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Samantha draws on earlier work in addiction and trauma services. She now runs a private practice where she combines talking therapy with lifestyle-focused coaching. That means sessions can cover emotional patterns alongside habits like sleep, eating and exercise.

Samantha uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking, attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns, and acceptance-focused techniques to work with difficult feelings. She also brings client-centred listening and emotion-focused work into sessions so people feel heard and understood.

The process starts by identifying what matters most to the client and setting small, realistic steps. Samantha helps people connect thoughts, feelings and body sensations and then practises changes together in session. This can include building healthier boundaries, improving communication, or making practical routine shifts at home.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Samantha is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and uses her experience to support people through change and recovery.

How Samantha’s approaches translate to online work

Samantha commonly blends cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-based understanding and client-centred listening in her practice. Cognitive behavioural work helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines, which can be practised between sessions. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and help people see how past experiences shape current responses, useful when addressing intimacy and abandonment concerns. Client-centred listening means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting emotions and priorities so the person feels heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will work with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That choice is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses, with practical steps agreed together.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments and may reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy, while others suit deeper, longer conversations. Discuss scheduling and practical needs when you first connect so sessions fit into everyday life.
