Person-Centred Support for People in London
I'm Amber — a person-centred therapist based in Edinburgh, working online with people across London (and in person in Edinburgh)
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 and wherever you're logging in from, including London, that space is just as real over video as it is in a room.
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.
Working together online doesn't change any of that. London is a long way from Edinburgh over four hours by train each way and for most people I hear from there, fitting a weekly appointment around work and a busy city just isn't realistic if it means travelling for it. Logging in from home means therapy can actually fit around your life, wherever in London you are.
Clients often say therapy with me feels safe
Safe — a space to share even the thoughts you've never spoken out loud. Steady — you can bring pain, trauma, and vulnerability, and know it will be held. Honest — gentle truths, no pretence, no jargon. Empowering — over time, you begin to see yourself and your choices differently. Lighter — because healing can hold both tears and laughter.

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You don't need a diagnosis, a crisis, or even a clear sense of what's wrong. Sometimes the only thing you know is that something needs to change.
Some of the things I work with:
Not sure if your experience fits? It doesn't need to. Reach out and we can talk it through in a free intro call.
Start with a conversation →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.
A growing part of my work now happens online, including with people across London — many of whom like that a weekly session doesn't mean building travel time into an already stretched schedule.
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 practise 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.
Your questions, answered
How much does therapy cost?
Sessions are £65 for 50 minutes. To secure a regular weekly slot, block bookings are available — for example, 4 sessions for £260. A small number of reduced-rate spaces are available — please ask when you get in touch.
What is the free intro call?
A free 15-minute phone or video call where we can briefly chat about what's brought you here and whether we feel like a good fit. There's no obligation — it's just a chance to ask questions and see how it feels.
Do you offer in-person sessions in London?
Not currently in London itself — but if you're ever in Edinburgh, you're welcome to book an in-person session at my Edinburgh office. If you're based in London, I offer secure, confidential online sessions by video, which many people find just as effective, with no travel required either side.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Research consistently shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most people, particularly for the kind of person-centred, talking-based work I offer. What matters most is the relationship we build together — and that's just as possible over video as it is in a room.
What do I need for online sessions?
Just a private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone — a laptop, tablet, or smartphone all work well. Sessions take place via secure, encrypted video software, and I'll send you a simple link before each session.
Is online therapy confidential?
Yes. Sessions take place through secure, encrypted video platforms designed for clinical use, not standard video call apps. The same confidentiality that applies to in-person sessions applies online.
I'm not sure if therapy is right for me. Can I still get in touch?
Absolutely. Many of the people who reach out aren't sure — and that's exactly what the free intro call is for. You don't need to have it all figured out. Just start with a conversation.
