About me

Hello, I’m Amber. I am an integrative therapist and registered member of the BACP (MBACP). I offer a warm, confidential space to explore life’s challenges and difficulties without judgement and with empathy, where you can share your thoughts, feeling and whatever you're experiencing. 

You might be here because a relationship has left you feeling unsettled or unsure of yourself, perhaps recovering from a toxic relationship or trying to understand relationship dynamics that keep showing up. Or you might be carrying the effects of trauma - events from your past that still feel complex and difficult to understand. Or you might simply be feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed by life, and are looking for a space to feel properly heard.

Choosing who to share your life story with and to support you on your journey can be difficult, and overwhelming. That's why I offer a free 15-minute phone or video call so we can chat to see if we feel like a good fit together.

I practice from an integrative approach with roots in person centred approach, which places warmth, empathy, and non-judgement at the heart of how I work. I also believe a lot of change happens through the relationship itself: feeling truly met and safe enough to be yourself. I draw on transactional analysis to help make sense of patterns that feel automatic or hard to shift, alongside trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware approaches to understand how trauma and stress can live in the body. My integrative approach means I can adapt to meet your needs and tailor blend therapy to your unique situation, bringing in different methods and techniques. After all, no two people are the same!

It is my ambition to empower and encourage positive change throughout the therapeutic process while providing my clients with autonomy and control of their own therapy. I offer a safe environment for you to bring whatever you wish to each session, together I aim to build a therapeutic relationship built on trust, non-judgement and congruence that enables you to explore, challenge and understand your thoughts and feelings.

If this feels like the kind of space you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you - feel free to get in touch to ask any questions , or to arrange a free 15-minute consultation.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Please feel free to discuss your accessibility requirements with me and I will endeavour to make sure sessions are accessible for you.
