About Samantha
Samantha Hill is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self‑esteem, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
She began her career in addiction and trauma services and now runs a private practice. She offers straightforward, practical work on boundaries, communication and relationship patterns. Sessions look at how thoughts, emotions and behaviours interact and create unhelpful cycles.
Samantha uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment‑based ideas, client‑centred work and Emotionally‑Focused Therapy. That means she may help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviours and pay attention to relationship patterns that keep causing pain.
Her background includes several years working directly with addiction and trauma, which informs how she responds to difficulties like emotional abuse, codependency and recovery from substance problems. She helps people develop routine changes around sleep, eating and self‑care when those areas are affected.
Practical tasks and clear steps are common in her sessions. Clients can expect to talk through specific situations, try short exercises between meetings and review what does and does not help. The focus is on manageable changes rather than abstract theory.
If someone wants to explore commitment issues, blended family stresses, attachment wounds or chronic illness and pain, she applies the same practical frame. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to match and book a first session.
How Samantha uses CBT, ACT and attachment work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values, even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, life changes and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding; it is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep and habits. Attachment‑based approaches look at patterns in relationships and early attachments to understand current communication and intimacy difficulties. Samantha treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will discuss goals and try methods that match those aims, then review what works in regular meetings. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to keep with one approach or combine techniques from different models. Confirm current session options before booking, as the site lists how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check‑in meetings during a lunch break or using telephone options when bandwidth is limited. Many people find the structure of CBT and ACT transfers well to remote sessions, with clear steps and brief tasks to try between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical arrangements once a client completes the questionnaire and schedules the first appointment.Areas of expertise
