About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, parenting concerns, anger and related life changes.
She aims to build a practical working relationship. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and setting sensible, achievable goals. Amber emphasises working at a comfortable pace so people can talk through difficult memories and current struggles without feeling rushed.
Amber uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to help people manage thoughts, emotions and behaviours. That includes cognitive behavioural techniques to spot patterns and try different responses, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take small steps, and attachment-based perspectives to look at how past relationships shape present reactions.
In session she also draws on dialectical behaviour skills for emotional regulation and client-centred principles that keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. Practical coping strategies and problem-solving are a regular part of the work, alongside time to understand painful past events and their impact.
Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a foundation degree in counselling science. She has experience working in relational counselling and spent three years at an NHS awareness centre. Amber offers work for international clients in English and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled when the person is ready. Clients are encouraged to check current session options when booking.
How sessions work
How Amber’s approaches translate online
Amber uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) among other methods. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical strategies to test and change them, which can help with anxiety, depression and everyday anger. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions, useful for making consistent changes even when difficult emotions are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and pacing over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer not using video for brief check-ins, while others find longer video sessions helpful for deeper conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and skills for remote sessions so the practical work on thoughts, values and emotional regulation continues to fit everyday life.
