Amber Stoby
I am currently completing my practicum as part of my Master’s degree in Clinical Counselling. My approach is grounded in authenticity and respect for the complexity of individual experience. My focus is how people come to understand themselves, and how our sense of self is shaped through relationships, culture, and broader social and systemic influences.
While I continue to develop an integrative approach, my thinking is currently influenced by existential and narrative approaches to counselling, centering clients’ agency, values, and lived experience. I am also interested in strengths-based and socially conscious approaches that remain attentive to power and context.
I am interested in supporting individuals navigating uncertainty, life transitions, loss, substance use and loneliness while exploring change and belonging. My aim is to develop a practice that invites creative collaboration with clients in exploring meaning and living in alignment with their values
