Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Amber integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside practical cognitive techniques to tailor care to each person. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and committed actions - it can help when someone wants to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current bonds and emotional responses - it is useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amber works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective.



Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people managing busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats and access support from wherever the client is located, while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor the process to each person's circumstances.
