About Amber

Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and gives people space to be heard. Amber focuses on helping people understand what they're feeling and why, then finding practical ways to move forward.

Her approach is collaborative and warm. Sessions focus on building trust and working at a pace that feels right for each person.

Background and approach

Amber helps people increase self-awareness and develop coping strategies that match their goals and values. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including cognitive strategies and attachment-focused ideas. This can help with mood problems, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and managing the impact of past trauma.

The work often involves looking at patterns, testing new ways of responding, and practising skills between sessions. Amber's background includes a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling. She also completed additional professional development on crisis safety planning, working with suicidal parts, and approaches for shame and body-related issues.

She previously worked at an NHS awareness centre for three years and at a relational counselling service in Tadworth. Practical matters are handled through a short matching process and scheduling that fits the client's circumstances. People who contact her usually begin with a questionnaire and then book according to availability.

Amber supports international clients and conducts work in English.

How Amber works online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on taking actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants clearer direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate and connect with others. This can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and repairing relational patterns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, nonjudgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics for the work; this supports self-understanding and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods that fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will review what helps and adjust the approach over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.

The biography does not specify particular online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, remove travel time, and let people take part from different locations. Many people find online work useful for practising skills in day-to-day life and carrying changes directly into their routines.
