Amber Sexton, BACP

Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and helps people find clearer ways forward. Amber focuses on building a trusting relationship so clients can talk openly about what matters to them.

She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including cognitive and acceptance-based methods. Sessions often look at how past experiences shape present choices. Amber helps people build new coping strategies and strengthen day-to-day routines that support wellbeing.

Clients turn to her for difficulties such as relationship stress, grief, trauma, anxiety and depression. She also works with issues like eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, career strain and ageing concerns. Midlife changes are included among the life transitions she can help individuals navigate.

Amber describes her style as compassionate and client-centred. She focuses on listening first, then setting clear, achievable goals together. Therapy moves at the client’s pace and addresses practical steps as well as feelings and beliefs.

Her background includes work at an NHS awareness centre for three years and practice in relational counselling. Amber holds a Bachelor of Science with honours in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, and she continues CPD in areas such as crisis planning and working with shame.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the service. Amber accepts international clients and runs therapy from the United Kingdom.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports taking small, values-based steps forward, which can suit life transitions and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour. It offers practical tools for anxiety, depression, sleep and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods if they’re not working well.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client. It can also let clients use methods such as thought records, behavioural experiments or values-based exercises between meetings to reinforce progress. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often combine talking, practical exercises and homework to help people practise new skills between sessions.
