About Amber
Amber Hillman helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career challenges, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strain and issues around intimacy. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, anger, coping with life changes and LGBT-related concerns. Amber is identified by the NCPS credential provided in her biography.
Amber uses a straightforward, compassionate approach in sessions. She aims to make it easier to talk about painful memories and recurring patterns.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters now and on steps that feel manageable between meetings. Her work includes trauma-focused methods alongside practical, solution-oriented techniques. Sessions often draw on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness strategies to help people stay grounded.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is also part of her toolkit for addressing distressing memories. Amber creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. She encourages clients to set the pace and to try techniques that suit their life and goals.
The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes. With six years of experience, Amber has helped people navigate a wide range of difficulties from chronic illness and pain to attachment and abandonment worries. She can talk through practical steps for communication problems, money stress, midlife concerns and other everyday pressures.
If a parent or individual wants a calmer, clearer next step, Amber supports that process.

How Amber works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, works with distressing memories to reduce their intensity. It is used by some therapists for trauma-related symptoms and for memories that keep causing strong reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will talk with each person about their needs and goals and will suggest ways forward. This is a collaborative process so the plan can change as the work progresses.
If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session types are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or offering a choice about whether to be on camera. Ask about practical arrangements and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
