About Amber
Amber Hillman works with stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties, and helps people facing life and work changes. She uses EMDR alongside other approaches to address distressing memories and current problems. Amber is registered with NCPS and has six years' experience in counselling and trauma work.
She explains how EMDR can change the way the brain stores and reacts to painful events. In sessions she encourages clear conversation about thoughts and feelings so practical coping steps can follow. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful patterns and on mindfulness and solution-focused work to support day-to-day change.
Amber aims to help people manage anxiety, panic, low mood and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction issues, sexual intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and the effects of chronic illness. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, guilt and shame, money pressures and finding life purpose.
Her style is conversational and goal-oriented. Sessions combine talking, targeted techniques and occasional structured exercises. She discusses options and plans together with each client so the work stays relevant to immediate needs.
Amber practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her practice accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Amber uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Amber works with EMDR to target how distressing memories affect current reactions; EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused memory work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with anxiety and low mood.
Mindfulness therapy helps people develop present-focused attention and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Amber combines these methods with a client-centred style so that treatment choices are discussed and agreed together. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and she will help decide what fits the client's goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when people are living abroad or have complex schedules.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
