Amber Healing Counselling
Integrative counselling in Kent, Essex and online
I will help you find answers to uncertainty, guilt, anxiety and overwhelming feelings.
I tailor therapy to fit your needs and goals using a combination of:
Person-centred counselling, Psychodynamic counselling, Mindfulness therapy,
Existential therapy and Sound therapy, CBT
During our sessions my integrative counselling approach will help you understand your thought processes and get the root cause of your issues.
I'm here for you, whether you're a deep thinker, a truth-seeker or navigating life's complexities.
My special interest lies in helping people navigate the challenges of anxiety, especially high-functioning anxiety, and understanding it not just as a mental experience, but as a deeply physical one - how it shows up in your racing heart, tight chest or restless thoughts. By exploring the mind-body connection, I'll help you make sense of how your body responds to stress and fear that can feel overwhelming.
You will have space to express your views and will start getting answers to key questions, like 'who am I' and 'how do I really want to live my life?'
Mindful Connections: Group Discussion, Sound Bath and Guided Meditation
Space to pause, reflect and build connections.
Coming October 2025 at Burham Village Hall ME1 3SH

My Journey to Therapeutic Counselling
My name is Gintare, a qualified mental health counsellor. I have always been fascinated by the human mind and the connection it has to the physical body. For as long as I can remember, I've sought answers through thoughtful inquiry. The mind, I've learned, is a powerful tool for achieving fulfilment and self-understanding.
After years as a healthcare professional, I pursued a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling to help others discover their authentic selves.
I am fully insured, DBS checked, and registered with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy), registration number 409715. I adhere strictly to their ethical framework and best practices.
To stay at the forefront of my field, I regularly attend workshops and seminars. My training includes Anxiety, Co-dependency and OCD behaviour management, Mindfulness and Non-duality, Autistic Burnout, Holistic Mental Health, among other areas.
I am a firm believer in lifelong learning, with a particular interest in Existential and Spiritual therapy. This approach seeks to understand human existence through our senses, mindfulness and creativity. It aims to help you uncover your unique self and master the art of living - even in challenging times.
By attuning to your body and connecting it with your mind, you can bring balance to your life. Remember, you possess an inner light—let it shine brightly!

How I work
Integrative Counselling
I am an integrative mental health counsellor. I provide short-term and long-term therapy in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for your self-exploration, self-reflection, and self-growth.
Your authentic self will learn how to create healthier relationships which in turn will bring about greater fulfilment. You will start to understand your own thinking patterns and learn techniques that can support your wellbeing by helping you to manage your anxiety and panic attacks.
I will help you calm your mind by reducing worrying and overthinking. I will guide you in learning the skills to listen to your body and connect it with your mind so you can manage life transitions easier.
Inclusive Support
Life's challenges are universal, and I understand that first-hand. I believe everyone deserves support, regardless of their background or beliefs. My approach avoids labels, instead tailoring therapy to your unique needs.
I meet you where you are, acknowledging that vulnerability and emotion are natural parts of the human experience. Together, we'll navigate your challenges, building resilience and finding your path forward in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Therapeutic Unity
I view counselling as a therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor. My role is to support you in exploring your authentic self and enriching your life.
Approach
My integrative counselling combines person centred, psychodynamic, and CBT approaches, along with sand tray therapy, existential techniques, and mindfulness. Sound meditation is available upon request. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals.

Anxiety
I have a deep passion for working with anxiety, particularly high-functioning anxiety, shaped by my own journey through grief, fear of death, a broken relationship and other profound losses. It can feel heavy, almost suffocating. Yet, despite the weight, you rise each day, go to work, connect with friends and family, smiling and bubbling with energy to mask the struggle because you must keep going.
What if I told you that this anxiety isn’t as terrifying as it seems?
Anxiety is a human experience that might indicate the danger, stress or lack of connection.
Anxiety that is not expressed and hidden underneath the surface. You find yourself able to live your normal life; however your worries, stress, self-doubts, a sense of failure and more are still present, though not visible.
Integrative Counselling can be very effective for anxiety issues. Because I combine different approaches, it can allow us to address your anxiety from different perspectives – cognitive, emotional, somatic or behavioural. In sessions you can explore your unique triggers and experiences.
Anxiety often comes from existential concerns, like fear of failure, uncertainty about life or fear of death. This type of approach can help you face and understand your fears, reducing their intensity.
Completely eliminating anxiety may not be realistic. Anxiety is a part of your existence. You can reduce it to a level that feels comfortable and freeing by understanding, accepting and working with anxiety.
Sound Meditation
mindfulness technique
Sound baths offer a restorative journey for the self, countering the disruptive noises of daily life. This mindfulness technique can help restore energy, reduce stress, and improve sleep. In my sessions, I use crystal singing bowls, a Tibetan bowl, a rain stick, and tuning forks. I can also incorporate guided meditation.
You have the option to include sound meditation in your counselling session, which will require additional time, or you can book it separately.
Sound meditation is not suitable for virtual settings.
