About me

Hello! I’m Amber. I am an integrative counsellor, who is a registered member of the BACP (MBACP). I offer a safe and confidential space to explore life’s challenges and difficulties. I am committed to providing non-judgemental, empathic therapy for you to share your thoughts, feelings and any challenges you are experiencing.

Choosing who to share your life story with and to support you on your journey can be difficult, and overwhelming. Therefore, I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so we can chat to see if we fit together.

I practice from an integrative approach with roots in person centred approach and transactional analysis. I also incorporate cognitive behavioural therapy, and solution-focused therapy, and gestalt at times. Person centred therapy means I believe that you are the expert in your life but sometimes we encounter challenges that feel too difficult to navigate. I will work with you to help you work through those difficulties at a pace that is comfortable for you. 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 am to build a therapeutic relationship built on trust, non-judgement and congruence that enables you to explore, challenge and understand your thoughts and feelings. I have experience in a wide range of areas, but have a particular interesting in working with those recovering from toxic relationships, and navigating relationship dynamics.

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.

Accredited register membership

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 info
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.
