Samantha Hill, BACP

Samantha Hill helps people facing relationship strain, family difficulties, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety. She also supports those coping with addiction, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping struggles, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Her approach includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns and practical communication and boundary problems.

She worked for seven years in the UK and began her career in addiction and trauma settings. Samantha now runs a independent practice where she sees people with a range of concerns including emotional abuse, narcissistic behaviours, divorce and blended family stress. She emphasises collaboration and the client’s own strengths.

Samantha uses a mix of talk-based approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred principles. Sessions aim to link thoughts, feelings and actions so people can make changes that matter to them.

She also practises as a Holistic Life and Health Coach, so practical routines are part of her work. This can include looking at habit change, work-life balance, diet and exercise where relevant. The focus stays on what each person wants to improve.

Samantha describes clients as the expert on their own lives and works alongside them to build on courage and strengths. Her style is direct but empathetic, aiming for clear steps and steadier day-to-day coping.

Her background in addiction and trauma informs a calm, grounded approach that pays attention to both emotions and practical change.

How Samantha’s approaches translate to online work

Samantha uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand their feelings and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns, and can help with intimacy, abandonment and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Sessions start with what matters most to the client and then tailor tools and exercises to fit their needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offering conversations when being on camera is not desirable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and practical routines for remote sessions to keep progress moving between meetings.
