Samantha Hill, BACP

Samantha Hill helps people navigate relationship strain, family problems, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and the stress of life changes. She supports people facing anxiety, addiction, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Samantha is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience in the United Kingdom.

She began her career working with addiction and trauma and later opened a private practice. Her earlier roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach. Sessions focus on understanding how thoughts and feelings link to behaviour and on small, doable changes that ease daily life.

Samantha uses a mix of talking therapies and mindful practices to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Work may include looking at attachment and relationship themes, practising acceptance and values-based actions, and using structured techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

She also pays attention to how physical habits affect mood and energy. Conversations can cover sleep, eating, exercise, and routines alongside emotional work. The aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Her style is collaborative and warm. Samantha encourages people to draw on their own strengths while testing small changes between sessions. She accepts clients from outside the UK and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and taking small steps that match your values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people address abandonment or communication problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical tools to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour, useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating issues.

Samantha will work with each person to find the best fit. She discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and tries approaches collaboratively, adapting methods as needs change. This helps people feel involved in choosing what works for them rather than being given a fixed programme.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you use visual cues and more conversational work, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to carry on therapy around work, travel and caring responsibilities, and to choose the format that suits the pace and style someone prefers.
