Meet Your Counsellor

Welcome to my website ! I am Amber, your fellow traveller.
 

I have  a Master of Counselling from Monash University Australia.  My therapeutic work is trauma-focused, emotionally attuned, neurobiologically informed, and culturally sensitive. With experience in couple's therapy, family support, family violence, inter-country adoption, antenatal anxiety and depression, children's counselling, play therapy, parental support, group facilitation for parents, kids and individuals, my practice brings together professional expertise and profound lived experience. 

I am a mum to three now adult kids, who have been my greatest teachers. In my spare time, I am listening to  audio books, call myself a podcast junkie, love being in nature. It heals like nothing else does! Meditation, mindfulness, music and meaningful cinema is a passion. I love long hikes, quiet still moments to slow down and just be. I love all animals but cats are my zen masters. If that is a deal breaker, hopefully we can move past that .
 

Having lived across four countries and visited over 20, I bring to my work a deep understanding of cultural nuances, transition, and resilience. My belief is rooted in the philosophy that "we heal in the presence of others" — an ethos captured beautifully by the words of  Irvin Yalom, "The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help." 

Let's connect if something resonates. If not, I wish you very well on your path and appreciate your most precious resource, your time !
