Amber has been fantastic, I was sceptical of online therapy but my experience so far has been amazing. Forming a connection, understanding and laying out goals and objectives have really helped me.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Respectful and understanding
Kind, compassionate and empathetic
I find Amber softly spoken, kind, considerate, and capable of offering insights and articulation of my thoughts and feelings when my emotional vocabulary is limited. It’s really helped me see myself and allowed me to make adjustments to my life and brought a sense of acceptance and peace with issues I had clamouring for attention.
