Person Centred Therapy in Edinburgh & Online 

You don't have to carry it alone

You've been holding it all together on the outside — keeping up with work, relationships, and expectations — while inside, something isn't right. You're tired in a way that rest doesn't seem to fix. You might be anxious, second-guessing yourself, or carrying a heaviness you can't quite name. 

Maybe you've tried the self-help books, the podcasts, the pushing through. And yet, here you still are. 

Sometimes what's missing isn't more insight — it's a space where you can actually put it all down and be met with honesty, warmth, and care. That's what therapy with me is for.

Hi, I'm Amber

I'm a person-centred therapist based in Edinburgh, and I work with adults and teenagers who are ready to stop just coping and start actually healing. 

I trained at the University of Edinburgh, where I completed my Master's in Counselling. I'm a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which means I practice to the highest ethical and professional standards. 

My approach is warm, direct, and real. I won't sit in neutral silence — I'll be present with you, and I'll gently challenge you when it might help. Therapy with me is a two-way conversation, not a one-way download. 

I know reaching out can feel like a big step. If you're not sure yet, a free introductory call is a no-pressure way to see if we're a good fit. 

Therapy that follows your lead

I offer person-centred therapy — which means our sessions are shaped by you, not by a fixed agenda or a checklist of techniques. You set the pace. You decide what we explore and when. 

What you'll find here isn't clinical distance or careful neutrality. You'll be met with warmth, directness, and — when it fits — a touch of humour. Because sometimes a small spark of light makes the heavy stuff easier to face. 

Together, we'll slow things down, explore what's really going on underneath, and start untangling the patterns that keep you stuck. Over time, many of my clients begin to see themselves and their choices differently — not because I told them what to think, but because they finally had space to work it out for themselves.
