About Amber
Amber Hillman is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, career changes and addictions. Amber also works with concerns such as grief, self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes.
She focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused. She listens to what is causing difficulty and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Then she offers ways to test different responses in daily life.
Amber uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when the aim is to change thinking patterns and behaviour. She also draws on client-centred techniques to keep sessions person-focused, and uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for trauma-related memory work.
Sessions tend to look at what is happening now and what short steps could reduce distress. She will discuss practical skills, breathing or grounding when helpful, and plan small experiments to try between meetings. Conversations can include thinking through relationship patterns, managing panic, or organising steps to address addiction or career stress.
People wanting to start complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Amber uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments that can be used between sessions to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories. EMDR involves focusing on a memory while using guided, bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess distressing material. Client-centred methods are used alongside these approaches to keep sessions focused on what the person needs to address most urgently.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your goals and preferences, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This makes it easier to find practical techniques that fit everyday life.
