Complete the welcome information
Before your first session, you’ll receive a welcome email containing a few forms, including a GDPR form and working agreement, as well as the payment link for your initial consultation.
Please complete and return all forms at least 48 hours before your session. Your appointment will only be secured once payment has been received.

Meet for your first 50-minute session
Your first session gives us time to begin exploring what has brought you to therapy and what you would like support with, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You can ask questions, learn more about how I work and get a sense of whether working together feels right.

Continue working together
After your first session, if you choose to continue, we’ll agree a regular weekly time that works for us both. Meeting consistently gives us the time and space to explore what has brought you to therapy and anything that emerges along the way, while allowing our therapeutic relationship to develop over time.

Remote sessions
Set yourself up for privacy and ease.
Online and telephone therapy offer the comfort and flexibility of meeting from a familiar space. To protect your privacy and help you speak openly, sessions need to take place in a private room where you won’t be overheard or interrupted. Headphones can offer extra privacy, but sessions cannot be held in shared or public places such as cafés, parks, buses or other public transport.
Once your forms and payment are complete, Amber will send your Microsoft Teams link or telephone details, along with helpful reminders by email and text.
If you’re joining from outside the UK, Amber may also confirm your time zone and location, as well as the support available locally in case of an emergency.
