About Samantha

Samantha Hill is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience in the UK. She works with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem difficulties, anxiety, addiction, grief, intimacy-related worries, sleep and eating issues, and the stresses that come with life changes.

She began her career supporting people affected by addiction and trauma and now runs a private practice. Sessions focus on understanding how emotions and thoughts connect, and on strengthening everyday coping skills. Conversations often cover boundaries, communication and the effects of emotional or narcissistic abuse.

Samantha uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based and client-centred ways of working, and elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. She also incorporates life and health coaching ideas about habits, diet, exercise and work-life balance where helpful.

In practice she encourages practical steps and reflection. That might mean noticing patterns in relationships, trying small behaviour changes, or working on how difficult feelings show up in the body. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.

People who come to her often seek clearer communication, stronger personal boundaries, and better ways to manage stress and addictive patterns. She also supports work on abandonment and attachment issues, blended family concerns, chronic illness or pain, body image and codependency.

How Samantha uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming hard-to-reach emotions and on changing unhelpful patterns in close relationships. It can help when people get stuck in repeating cycles of blame, avoidance or withdrawal. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works with values and small committed actions to reduce avoidance and build a life that matters to the client. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect, and supports learning new ways to ask for care and set boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. Therapy is collaborative, with regular checks on what is helping and what needs to change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or permit work without being on camera if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt sessions to suit practical needs while focusing on emotions, relationship patterns and everyday coping.
