Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
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.

Many people ask whether online therapy can really help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes – online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One clear benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best – by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
Therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they want a different fit. For many individuals seeking support with everyday mental health and relationship challenges, online therapy offers a practical and effective option.
