About Amber
Amber Back uses a client-centred way of working to help people through stressful and painful life moments. She is a BACP member and brings three years of clinical experience to sessions. Amber focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She offers a calm, accepting space where people can talk openly about what is troubling them. Her approach is flexible and adapts to each person.
How Amber works
Client-Centred Therapy guides the pace, so the person sets what feels most important to address. Amber also draws on ideas from transactional analysis, cognitive behavioural methods, solution-focused work and gestalt to shape sessions when helpful. Practical concerns such as recovering from toxic relationships, problems with attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, and divorce are within her focus.
She also supports people dealing with immigration issues, guilt, shame and finding life purpose. Sessions aim to build insight, personal resources and clearer choices for change. Amber frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She listens without judgement and helps people identify small, manageable steps to feel better. Work in sessions can include talking through feelings, noticing patterns, testing new ways of responding and practising small changes between meetings. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

Online support options
Client-centred work online and flexible session formats
Amber primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. This approach helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief or low self-worth to be heard and to find their own solutions.She blends that core approach with elements of transactional analysis and some cognitive behavioural ideas when they fit. Transactional analysis can help people recognise repeating relationship patterns, while simple cognitive strategies can be used to try out different responses to stressful thoughts or situations.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process, and Amber treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and agree on an approach together. The plan can change as therapy progresses to match what is proving most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual connection, phone works well for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit into busy schedules or be used for brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily routines.
