About Amber
Amber Hillman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also supports clients facing career changes, ADHD challenges, addictions, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Amber uses a straightforward, calm approach so people feel heard while they talk through difficult feelings.
She brings six years of practical experience to sessions and holds the NCPS credential. Amber aims to make conversations clear and focused. She encourages people to set goals they can work towards between meetings and to notice small changes over time.
Amber uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. She also offers EMDR for trauma-focused work and uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping tools and quick strategies.
In sessions Amber creates a calm space for people to describe their experiences without judgement. She listens for patterns such as attachment or codependency and helps people try practical steps to shift them. Conversations cover practical skills, new ways of thinking, and manageable tasks to try between sessions.
Many clients come with complex issues such as chronic illness, body image concerns, money stress or midlife questions. Amber works with each person to prioritise what matters most right now and plans achievable next steps. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.
How Amber’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, helping people feel understood and guiding goals at a comfortable pace. It is often used for emotional concerns, self-esteem and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers exercises to test new ways of thinking. It is useful for anxiety, stress and tackling unhelpful habits.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps change how distressing memories are stored. It can be used when past events continue to cause strong emotional or physical reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process allows for adjustments as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow meetings from different locations. Some people prefer shorter check-ins, others choose longer sessions when they can; confirm the session options before booking. The emphasis remains on practical tools, emotional processing and planning next steps that fit daily routines.
