About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor who brings five years of practice to her work. She focuses on building a straightforward, respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood. Amber aims to help clients make sense of what is happening now and find practical ways to move forward.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify goals and to notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions are paced to each person, with an emphasis on self-awareness and new coping skills.
Background and approach
Amber draws on a mix of psychological approaches to match methods to the client rather than using a single fixed style. Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Counselling Science.
She also has experience working in an NHS-related centre for three years and has taken continuing professional development on crisis planning and working with shame and the body. Typical concerns she sees include relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, and ADHD-related issues.
She also offers support around career changes, compassion fatigue, and managing life transitions. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom, and Amber accepts international clients. Therapy is delivered through a range of online formats so people can pick the option that fits their life and needs.

How Amber’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and connections. It can help when trust, closeness or intimacy cause repeated problems in relationships and self-view. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and patterns that keep problems going.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amber will talk with you about your goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable. Together you can try one method or combine approaches, adjusting as needs change during therapy.
Online sessions give practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel, and make regular contact easier for people who are abroad or have limited local services.
