Therapy is a commitment between client & therapist, to be open to wanting things to be different.

I work using a combination of Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) approaches. I believe that this offers you the best of both worlds. You may feel your life has lost meaning and this can lead to depression, stress or anxiety. This can sometimes be due to unhelpful or negative thinking (cognitive) patterns and together we can work on these. Talking to a professional counsellor can help you process those feelings and move towards a more contented life. I will not judge you and I will always work at your pace. I offer a careful balance of support and gentle challenge.

My clinical approach integrates talking therapies, DBT, mindfulness, trauma work, psychodrama, and creativity, using a range of creative tools, including action, visualisation, imagery, and art.
I work pluralistically from a contemporary biopsychosocial framework that incorporates all aspects of self and I believe that you have many of the answers you are seeking within yourself. My objective is to build a safe and holding space for a trusting relationship where you can explore and share your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and problems/difficulties. Clients often seek therapy because of symptoms affecting their everyday life. However, they are often unaware of the root cause of their self-sabotaging behaviours, relationship issues, and emotional numbness. I also provide a more focused work as a single-session therapy (SST)

Hi there! I am Amber, the Director of Healthy Mind Psychology. We aim to be a different type of practice.

Eating means nourishing ourselves. But what if its filled with fear? When our body and brain lack a sense of safety we become anxious about eveything.
Maybe you find the need to control everything inteferes with your enjoyment of eating or that your body and shape are so important as an identity that you struggle to enjoy other important aspects of life.
Maybe you notice a need to exercise thats becoming a personal demand rather than enjoyable.
These are subtle changes that we dont always notice straight away and can be a warning signal about our relationshiip to our bodies.

I work with adults who feel stuck despite insight - often after therapy that has helped but not fully resolved what lies beneath. Many are thoughtful and self-aware, yet continue to struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, burnout, relationship difficulties, disconnection, or a persistent sense that something is missing. I also work with adults exploring ADHD, autism, neurodivergence, identity, and self-understanding. I also provide Adult ADHD assessments and a lower-cost first-step ADHD Initial Consultation. Together, we look beyond symptoms to understand the deeper patterns shaping your experience and creating barriers to change.

I draw on years of mindfulness practice and experience in applied nonviolence, including antiracist work and leading white affinity groups for therapists.
I work with adolescents and adults — individually, as couples, and in groups — who want a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many come when something feels stuck: anxiety, relational difficulties, or recurring patterns shaped by trauma, neglect, violence, or experiences of difference. My work is typically longer-term, making space to explore these patterns in depth. Clients are often reflective, and may be engaging questions of identity — race, sexuality, class, ability, or nationality — or navigating relational dynamics in their families or intimate relationships.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
