HI

I am an older actor, I naturally speak with a soft Scottish accent. (no subtitles required!)

Before acting I spent most of my life as a therapist facilitating thousands of clients through profound cathartic emotional experiences. I therefore bring to my acting an internal emotional aliveness and sense of connection. It was important to me to seek out professional acting training that could translate this unique background into the context of acting. So now I act from the inside out which means I act like I am not acting! That inner truth is automatically picked up by the camera to tell your story authentically. (see more below)

It takes many “stars” to make a beautiful night sky!

Good collaboration is a vital key to successful film making. It blows my mind that a film starts as an idea: just a seed of thought & when enough people with the resources, skills, talent, & passion commit to telling that story it grows into a full blown movie! It’s that magical feeling of working together creatively to bring that vision into reality that spurs me on…By the time the audience are sitting in the cinema munching popcorn, (Why not think big?!) each person has contributed a bit of their soul to that journey along the way. That’s what it takes to transport, touch, move, entertain, uplift & affect an audience, which after all is the point of making a film!

I ‘m an experienced horse rider & handler, having owned horses for the majority of my life. I’m animal daft. In real life I am a Mum of 2 independent daughters, we lived in Nz for 12 years so I have dual citizenship (UK & NZ) and now I’m a professional actor living in Kent with an unusually flexible lifestyle; which means I can often make myself available (try me!) I am currently self represented.

Swashbuckling Cornwall at Polmartin Riding Ltd specialise in teaching actors how to act on horseback as well as how to handle horses and communicate safely on set. I have my level 1 & 2 Riding For Actors & stable management training as endorsed on spotlight. I received British Horse Society Certification (as below)

Method Acting is The Reality Of Truth Brought Into Performance

Like many people I misunderstood what the method was. I had heard the Hollywood greats use it and noticed there is something undeniably different about the likes of Daniel-Day-Lewis, Amy Adams, Tom Hardy, Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, De- Niro, Al Pacino’s @ Leonardo-Di-Caprio’s acting; they pull you in. Gradually I have come to realise that acting has nothing to do with pretending and everything to do with being real and allowing what is going on inside the character to reveal itself outwardly – and THAT is exactly what my previous work as a therapist was all about!

Parallels Between Therapy and Acting

In therapy circles it is understood we all have a Hitler and a Mother Theresa inside us, it doesn’t mean we act them out but they are there none the less and simply being aware of those traits is key to preventing havoc so they don’t take control. To create an environment of non judgement conducive for healing, you have to see, know and accept that whatever your client is experiencing is within you too, so going through that process for many years, gradually you embrace all aspects of yourself without rejecting any of it – the good, the bad and the ugly. Acting however, allows me to tap into that rich, ugly, juicy, real, pool and express it outwardly! However my focus is not on how it looks outside, which is a paradox considering acting is such an image conscious world, it is on connecting with and feeling it for real inside inside and expressing it outwardly. The irony is that this produces mesmerising acting.

I have a NC in communication and media studies and HNC in advertising and the media. I have done some professional voice over work when I worked at a regional radio station in Edinburgh as a researcher in the production department on the popular “Wee Fat Bob” Show. I am a member of The Unscripted Players and can be found getting up to all sorts of nonsense at our local Improv group every week and have joined “accent club” to nail those other accents!

Amberli naturally speaks with a soft Scottish accent. (no subtitles required!)

Amberli is a professionally trained actor with emotional intelligence from a background as a therapist guiding thousands of people through life’s rawest moments; so she doesn’t pretend to act. She acts like she is not acting by creating performances that connect from the inside out. By

plugging into truth and letting it speak through her characters and your storyline the camera automatically catches that quietly electrifying enigmatic ripple.

But ...here’s what makes this the ultimate comeback story. Everything I built for my “moving on from therapy” business including the power of story telling on screen was hijacked—my ideas, creations, my reputation, and the solutions I generated for future business. I was painted as “too much” or “too emotional,” by professionals I had never met watching me like a lab rat in my natural habitat deciding my fate. Meanwhile many others cashed in. Ever heard of the “Voice of AI”? Yeah. That….

During the pandemic I hired others to help elevate me and my brand with my shift into an acting career at 50 yo as testament to the validity of my work… and that’s when the betrayal hit. They took what I’d made, repackaged it as their own, and elevated themselves using the work I created and had ready in the pipeline! Entire communities were brought on board not knowing this was not a film it was my life. How could I defend myself?

I ‘m an experienced horse rider & handler, having owned horses thorughout my life. They teach you authenticity, trust and leadership. I trained to add this mix to film:

That kind of betrayal and theft cuts deep—not just because it’s unfair, but because it silences the very voice that had something real to say. But here’s the plot twist: they underestimated the source. This isn’t just a comeback—it’s a return to origin. Now I draw from the same well I once used to guide others, but this time, it fuels my acting. Truthfully. Viscerally. Undeniably.

I didn’t just survive the kind of betrayal that crushes most people—I transformed it. I’d already created 9 Steps to Cloud 9—a flexible reference system designed to guide people through chaos, doubt, and heartbreak back into clarity and alignment, so they can rise from the inside out. The people I paid to help me promote it, stole it and while they used it to elevate themselves they also did everything they could to try to erase the very person who birthed it.

I know there are snakes in some areas of the film industry who steal others work, they ruin the joy of the creators and generate lack of trust. These people used me as their golden goose.... So I used them to elevate my acting career!

I worked hard on my light-it-up-from-the-inside out presence , that doesn’t just act—it moves people.

Joy is My Rebellion, and Art is My Comeback.

Parallels Between Therapy and Acting

But here’s the twist: I wasn’t broken, I was breaking new ground in AI to ensure it keeps life meaningful and helps people reconnect with hope again. I’m a method actor. I know what it is to draw from the truth to let lived experience breathe through a role. So now? Every heartbreak, every stolen moment, every time I was silenced or made to doubt myself… it’s pure, raw fuel. If you want someone on set who doesn’t need to fake it—who can be it—because she’s lived it, that’s me.

The injustice, the silence, the stolen work—they've become the deepest well I draw from when acting. And that changes what you see on screen. It makes it real.

It’s also the secret fuel behind how I show up: I perform what I have lived. My journey gave me a well of emotional depth to draw from, it plunged me into my core. These people didnt only use my creations against me to keep me down, they systematically tried to crushed me so I was out of the picture completely. They even used my own vision boards to work out what I wanted so they could block it from me and give it to others and make sure I could see that! They wanted me triggered and jealous, they wanted me isolated, acting crazy, unable to reach out and to drive me to suicide. They used me to create empires of analysis whilst excluding me from involvement. They made a small fortune from my plight. Yes - they also used the film industry to back their evil deceitful cause, pulling innocent people into their hidden agenda. It is a lot to come back from.

Here’s the secret: I was not trying to be seen. I show the truth and let it speak for itself. And when audiences feel that? That’s when transformation happens.

I love being on professional film sets, of course I do. Not just because of the buzz, but because we work collaboratively to bring an invisible dream to life. To take a story from the seed of an idea and co-create it with a team who each bring their own spark. I have the ability to carry that level of hurt and then express it within your story - not spilling out onto set.

So if you know what it is like to have your work stolen - I tell you this

What they hijacked for profit, I built with purpose. What was meant to silence me is now fuelling my greatest performance yet. And THAT is the best revenge ever!!

I don’t act like I understand heartbreak, healing, and hope—I do, and acting is now my healing outlet.

Every moment I was underestimated or erased? Built a deeper truth inside me.

And that is what comes through on camera.

My comeback is my sweet revenge .....

Not as someone desperate to be seen—but as the one

who knows how to make your audience feel seen.

I’ve watched what happens when stories are made without soul.

When the sparkle is faked. When the heart is missing.

And I know now: that’s where I fit in.

I am the missing piece that makes the story true again.

I light up from the inside out.

I’m here for roles that mean something, that change something.

That bring humanity back into their hearts through the screen

because THAT is why I love the film industry .... and they will never take that from me.
