About Samantha
Samantha Hill is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people facing relationship and family difficulties. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and self-esteem. She also works with parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she focuses on the connection between feelings, thoughts and the body. She encourages people to notice how emotions show up physically and to use that information to make changes.
Background and approach
Samantha blends practical tools with reflective conversation so people can try new ways of coping between appointments. Her background includes work in addiction and trauma and she now runs a independent practice in the United Kingdom. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is noted here as a professional reference.
Samantha combines somatic awareness with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. She also draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor work to each person’s needs. Sessions are paced to suit how someone likes to work, with attention to small, achievable steps.
People who come to Samantha can expect a supportive, down-to-earth space to talk and try things differently. Her style is collaborative and practical, focusing on clear steps for coping and on building awareness of body and emotion over time.
How Samantha blends body-aware approaches with online therapy
Samantha uses somatic awareness to help people notice how emotions show up in the body and to work with those sensations in session. This approach can be useful for stress, trauma responses, chronic pain and patterns that feel stuck in the body.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a practical approach that helps people clarify values and take small, committed steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas are woven into the work to explore patterns in close relationships and improve communication and connection.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Samantha works together with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted over time if something is not working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs and allow people to maintain continuity of care from different locations. The variety of formats supports practical tasks between sessions and lets people choose how they feel most comfortable engaging.
