amber@amberturnellcoaching.com I started my counselling career fifteen years ago in hospice care, supporting patients approaching end of life - working both 'on the ward' and in the community. As well as helping their families to manage the complex emotions that arose. I have been privileged to have worked in these specialist settings alongside incredible staff and this led me to gain a qualificat
ion in supervision. It has enabled me to focus on staff welfare and have been able to offer support to medical staff and emergency services staff in encouraging them in caring for themselves. Working with Kent Police in the Counselling & Well-being team, I was involved in the design and development of an award-winning psycho-educational well-being programme - currently used by both front-line and civilian staff. Helping them to cope with the inherent anxiety, stress and trauma that they face in their roles. I will work with you to look clearly at everything you may be facing and the impact it might be having on your mental health and general wellbeing. I can help you to gain a greater understanding of your thoughts and I can assist you in finding (and implementing) strategies to deal with whatever life throws at you.
​Some wish to focus on a specific life event - a bereavement, sudden diagnosis of an illness or a particular distress that they may be facing. For example, low mood/depression, work related stress or symptoms of general anxiety. For others it may be a chance to gain insight into why they feel as they do or to understand changes they may have been considering. Both coaching and counselling provide an opportunity to explore, make sense and take control of what is happening in your life. I am fully insured and registered as a counsellor with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I am bound by its ethical framework for good practice in counselling and psychotherapy.
