Amber McBride

Amber’s journey into body psychotherapy began after a career devoted
to capturing people’s life stories as a documentary filmmaker. She is
now in the final stages of her training, benefiting from close
supervision by an experienced therapist.

Having been a client of clinical psychology, Amber encountered the
limitations of traditional talk therapy. Her quest for more holistic
and enduring transformation led her to discover the profound potential
of body psychotherapy. After years of her own therapy and training,
Amber is deeply grateful for the opportunity to guide clients on their
path toward lasting transformation in their lives.

Amber’s experiential training has strengthened her belief that a
therapist can more effectively guide clients to places they’ve
personally explored. In her practice, she provides a warm, open, and
creative space where deep transformation can flourish.

As part of her Body Psychotherapy accreditation, Amber offers
discounted student sessions. In-person appointments are available in
Sydney, NSW, or online sessions are available from anywhere.
