About Amber
Amber Hillman helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career changes, ADHD, addictions and LGBT concerns. She also supports people facing grief, parenting pressures, intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem and big life transitions. Amber is identified as NCPS on her profile and works from the United Kingdom.
She uses a straightforward style in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical steps to feel steadier.
How Amber works
She listens without judgement and helps people put words to difficult feelings. Sessions are paced to match each person's needs. Amber draws on several approaches, including client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods such as EMDR.
Those methods are used to reduce distressing memories, spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are also part of her toolkit when suitable. Her background includes six years of clinical experience supporting people through loss, life changes and long-standing worries.
That experience informs how she blends short-term practical tools with deeper trauma work when needed. She aims to make therapy something people can use alongside daily life. In sessions she helps people tackle issues like attachment and abandonment, body image concerns, chronic illness and pain, codependency and communication problems.
She also supports people navigating divorce, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, career purpose and financial stress.

Online support options
How Amber’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred work focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This style is useful for building trust and exploring emotions related to relationships, grief or identity.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It uses simple exercises and homework tasks that transfer well to online sessions and phone check-ins, helping with anxiety, stress and low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for trauma-focused work to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories. In an online setting this can involve structured processing and practical grounding techniques adapted for video or phone sessions to help with past traumatic events.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether short-term strategies or deeper trauma work fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits conversations that benefit from visual cues, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can provide brief check-ins or thought records between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy schedules.
