More about Amber

  • BACP

Hello, and welcome to my BetterHelp page; let me introduce myself and tell you a bit about what to expect from choosing your therapy journey with me.

My name is Amber. I truly understand that seeking therapy can be a significant and sometimes challenging decision. However, you have already taken an important step in beginning your journey.

In our sessions, my priority is cultivating an environment where you feel truly heard, valued, and empowered. I believe that building a genuine rapport and working collaboratively is vital to identifying and pursuing your desired goals. I aim to create a secure, supportive, and nonjudgmental space, allowing you to openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that feels comfortable for you.

I am committed to helping you each step of the way to make sense of your current challenges and navigate these to support you to move forward. By understanding yourself and your past, we can better address the issues that impact your life. Therapy with me focuses on improving your self-awareness and finding new coping mechanisms. We will achieve this by working at your pace.

My style is compassionate and client-focused, with an emphasis on building trust and establishing a strong therapeutic relationship. Together, we will work towards meaningful change and a path forward that aligns with your values and aspirations.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
