Amber Back , BACP

Amber Back is a counsellor who works from a person-centred foundation to help people facing difficult life moments. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings three years of experience to her practice. Amber aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.

She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. Amber also helps those coping with life changes, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and challenges linked to chronic illness or disability. She has a particular interest in supporting people recovering from toxic relationships.

Amber uses an integrative style rooted in person-centred work and transactional analysis. This means she adapts her approach to fit each person's needs rather than following a single method. She may include elements from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches when these suit a person’s goals.

Sessions focus on what the individual wants to achieve and on building practical ways to manage difficult feelings. Amber encourages people to draw on their own strengths and to take small steps towards change. Her aim is to empower people so they feel more in control of their next steps.

People can expect clear, down-to-earth conversations and steady support throughout the process. Amber offers help in English to those located in the United Kingdom, and conducts sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Person-centred care and online therapy options

Amber primarily uses a person-centred approach which means she focuses on listening, empathy and working at a pace that suits each person. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through feelings like grief, anxiety or low self-esteem and wants respect for their own perspective.

She also draws on transactional analysis in her work, which looks at patterns in how people relate and communicate. That can be useful for understanding recurring relationship problems or feelings of abandonment. When helpful, she may bring in elements of cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques to build practical coping steps and short-term goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together you will find a way of working that fits your needs. This shared decision means therapy can be adjusted over time as things change.

Online sessions let people fit counselling around work and family life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging offers short, flexible check-ins. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact and maintain momentum between sessions.
