About me
Hi there! I'm Amber, a friendly and dedicated person-centred counsellor holding a Master's in Counselling from the University of Edinburgh. As a proud member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their ethical standards, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care.
Having undergone therapy personally, I understand the courage it takes to begin this journey. My goal is to make the process as comfortable as possible, recognising that everyone moves at their own pace. I believe in creating a warm and supportive space where everyone not only feels heard, but truly understood.
My approach is rooted in person-centred counselling, emphasising empathy and non-judgment. In our sessions, I aim to build a safe and trusting relationship, encouraging you to freely express yourself. With gentle curiosity, we'll explore your experiences and emotions, uncovering new perspectives and unlocking your full potential.
I bring expertise in supporting individuals dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Additionally, I have a special interest in assisting neurodivergent adults, offering support to those navigating a neurotypical world. Being neurodivergent myself, I bring a unique perspective that deepens my understanding of clients navigating similar experiences. I view neurodivergence not as a weakness but as a strength, recognising the challenges it poses alongside the inherent opportunities it can present.
I have a passion for supporting young people and children, using both talking and working through play to help them build their sense of self and overcome difficulties. I understand that children may have a hard time articulating their feelings, it is my goal that through our work, they can process and make sense of their experiences in a safe and nurturing environment.
Embarking on counselling may feel nerve-wracking, but my promise to you is unwavering support and a kind, compassionate presence every step of the way. Let's collaborate to deepen your understanding of yourself and pave the way for a brighter future.
I offer in person and online sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified from the University of Edinburgh with a Master's in Counselling with merit. I have over just under 4 years of supervised counselling experience and have been in private practice for just over 18 months. I am also a member of the BACP. I have been lucky enough to work with a variety of different people and perspectives during my time in the field. This has greatly impacted my ability to understand and connect with clients from many different backgrounds, enhancing my effectiveness as a counsellor.
Member organisations
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).
