Ms Amber Rules Psychotherapist

​Amber has extensive experience with addictions, and specialises in working with the family members of people who use drugs, alcohol, gambling, or have complex mental health needs. She has worked in both public and private inpatient rehabilitation centres and hospitals, specialist outpatient counselling services, and private practice.​ ​ Amber believes that most addictions form as a way of helping people cope with pain, trauma or other difficulties. Her approach to counselling is collaborative and takes into account a person's whole life - their past, present, and what they want their future to be like. She supports clients and their families with a mixture of education, counselling and safety strategies. Before becoming a therapist, Amber worked in the entertainment industry. She has an understanding of the difficulties that come with non-traditional and high-profile jobs, and is experienced in helping clients manage addiction issues when they travel frequently.​
