Amber Archbold

I work out of Melbourne, Victoria or via Telehealth Australia-wide.

My curiosity about the human experience and the way we relate to others sparked my interest in this profession.

People inherently need people and with the help of others, we navigate our way through life and the struggles we face.

This prompted me to quit corporate life and complete a Bachelor of Counselling, working in Support Work, Psychosocial Recovery Coaching and training as a Crisis Supporter for Lifeline (which is ongoing).

Non-judgemental approach

My approach is non-judgemental, warm, empathetic and curious. No two people have the same experience and my role is to understand you within your context to help understand and make sense of your experience.

From there we work collaboratively at your pace on what is important to you.

My philosophy draws from the mind of Ram Dass, with the understanding in life that ‘we’re all just walking each other home’.

My purpose is to help make your journey a little easier.

What to expect

Introduction session

Your first session is a space to take a breath. We’ll explore your story, what’s been happening recently, your mental health, and the experiences that led you here.

Treatment plan

Together, we’ll look at the key parts of your history, as they often help us make sense of what’s happening now. From there, we’ll set clear goals and build a plan that supports the life you want.

‘Homework’

Sort of! Therapy isn’t just about talking, you’ll also get practical tools and skills to use in everyday life. These new approaches help you respond in ways that truly reflect your needs, values, and who you’re becoming.
