Amber Hillman

Amber Hillman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship problems. She supports those dealing with panic, depression, life changes at work, and struggles around body image and self-esteem. Amber also works with people affected by chronic illness, grief, addictions and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.

Amber uses a clear, practical style in sessions. She aims to make talking about hard things feel less daunting. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Clients are invited to notice what helps and to try small changes between sessions.

Her background includes six years of experience in the United Kingdom alongside NCPS credentialing. Amber describes EMDR as one of the methods she uses to help shift how distressing memories are held in the mind. She also draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques.

In sessions Amber pays attention to feelings, body responses and everyday habits. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and learn practical tools for coping. The focus is on short, steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who choose Amber can expect open conversation about goals and options. She encourages a collaborative approach, matching methods to each person’s needs. If you are thinking about starting, pick what matters most to you and discuss it in your first meeting.

How Amber’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and on building understanding through open listening. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and make sense of what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, aims to change how troubling memories are stored so they feel less overwhelming; it is commonly used for trauma and distressing past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Amber works together with each person to weigh goals, preferences and what has helped before. This collaborative planning helps decide which methods to try first and how to adapt them as progress unfolds.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people outside the local area to connect with therapists and to continue care through life changes.
