About Amber

Amber Ward is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or difficulties with eating and body image. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard. Amber works to make the first steps less daunting and to support people as they try new ways of coping.

She uses approaches that help clients talk through what matters most to them. Sessions aim to uncover unhelpful patterns and find small, practical changes that make daily life more manageable.

Background and approach

Amber pays attention to how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact when tackling worries like panic, obsessions, or social anxiety. Amber has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her experience includes supporting people with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and challenges linked to work or major life changes.

She also works with concerns such as dissociation, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse. In sessions she builds a calm, non-judgemental space and aims for straightforward, usable strategies. Therapy can include talking, problem-solving, and looking at how thoughts shape feelings.

The goal is to leave people better able to cope, make choices, and feel more like themselves. Amber offers online appointments to fit different routines. She works with clients in the United Kingdom and can take international clients in English when that suits their needs.

How Amber blends talking therapies with online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects what the client says, helps them feel heard, and follows the client’s priorities to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, tackle panic, manage intrusive thoughts, and change eating-related behaviours.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Amber will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest whether a more explorative, client-centred way or a skills-based CBT approach will help. That plan can change as you progress so sessions stay relevant to what you need.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you meet face to face from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility for different routines and practical constraints while keeping the focus on helpful, achievable steps.
