About Amy
Amy Skarratts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, family conflict and depression. She works in English and draws on nine years of clinical experience. Amy approaches talking therapy with a straightforward, supportive style that respects each person's strengths and choices.
She believes the client is the expert in their own life. Sessions centre on the person's goals and what makes sense for them.
Background and approach
Amy offers practical ways to cope with overwhelming feelings and to tackle habits that get in the way of daily life. Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, and supports people in trying out small changes that can make a real difference. Across her practice Amy focuses on clear, short-term steps alongside deeper listening. She aims to help people notice progress and build on what already works for them.
The overall aim is to support practical change while also acknowledging emotional experience. To begin, Amy asks people to share what they want to change and what matters to them. From there she and the client shape a plan together, with regular reviews to make sure the approach is helpful.

How Amy works online
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is practical and often involves trying small changes between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood or address addictive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel or taking a shorter break at work. It can also allow for quieter, focused conversations or for people to choose whether they prefer video or audio. Confirm the current session options with the service before booking so you know what formats are available and what will work best for your routine.
