Amber Fieldgate

I currently have space for new clients. I’m available on weekday afternoons and evenings, and I also have some space on Thursday mornings. Sessions can be face to face on George Street in central Edinburgh or online, whichever feels easier for you. If none of my slots quite work for you, just get in touch and we’ll see what we can work out!

Exhausted from holding it all together?

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Are you tired of overthinking everything, only to still not land on the right answer? Maybe you’re unsure what you need. Maybe you’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t seem to fix. I’m Amber, and you’re in the right place. I offer therapy face to face in central Edinburgh and online across the UK.

Therapy with me is a place to put it all down, the heaviness, the self-doubt, the “I should be coping by now” thoughts, without fear of being judged. Many people I work with come in feeling like they’ve been holding it all together on the outside, while inside they’re tired, anxious, or falling apart. If that sounds familiar, this is a space where you don’t have to pretend anymore. I promise to meet you with honesty and care.

Together, we’ll slow things down, explore what’s really going on underneath, and start untangling the patterns that keep you stuck. You’ll be met with empathy, respect, and a touch of humour, because sometimes a small spark of light makes the heavy things easier to face.

People often come to therapy feeling unsure, anxious, stuck, struggling with low self-esteem and self-criticism and leave feeling stronger, happier and more confident in themselves. Clients often say therapy with me feels:

Safe: a space to share the thoughts you’ve never spoken out loud.

Steady: you can bring pain, trauma, and vulnerability, and know it will be held.

Honest: gentle truths, no pretence, no jargon.

Empowering: over time, you begin to see yourself and your choices differently.

Lighter: because healing can hold both tears and laughter.

This isn’t about quick fixes or being told what to do. It’s about creating the kind of safety that allows real healing to happen, where you can begin to let go of what no longer serves you and reconnect with who you truly are.

The first step doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be yours. If you’re ready, I’d love to hear from you.

I hold a Master of Counselling (MCouns) from the University of Edinburgh and an honours degree in Psychology from SACAP (South African College of Applied Psychology). I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their Ethical Framework in all of my work.

I have been seeing clients since 2020, supporting people aged 12–70. I have experience working with neurodivergent clients, as well as people experiencing anxiety, low mood, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and identity-related concerns.

My approach is person-centred at its core, meaning I follow your lead and work at your pace. As a neuroaffirming therapist, I adapt how I work to fit you, recognising that traditional therapy models don’t always fit every person. I am based on George Street, Edinburgh, and also work online, so I can support clients across the UK.

Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £65. Students and therapists can access a reduced rate, and if money is tight for you, please mention it, as I keep some lower cost spaces too. I offer both short term and open ended work, and we can decide together what feels right for you.

Before we book anything, I offer a free 15 minute intro chat. It’s a relaxed chance for us to get a feel for each other and see if we’re a good fit, with no pressure to commit to anything.

If it feels right, we’ll book your first session. This is a full 50 minute session at the usual rate of £65. We’ll spend some of it getting to know you and what’s brought you to therapy, and you’re welcome to share as much or as little as you like. There’s no right way to start, so you don’t need to have it all figured out before you walk in.
