About Amy
Amy Skarratts is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, family conflict and depression. She works with each person to build on their strengths and figure out practical steps forward. Amy takes a calm, respectful approach and supports people through the early steps of seeking change.
She believes the client is the expert in their own life. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, helpful changes that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making coping feel more manageable. Amy uses client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience at the centre of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to reduce distress and unhelpful patterns.
With nine years of experience in the United Kingdom, Amy has worked in settings that involve conversations about addictions and family difficulties as well as common mental health concerns. Her background helps her hold steady when emotions run high and to keep practical outcomes in view.
People who choose Amy can expect a collaborative pace and clear options for how to approach problems. She aims to make each session feel like a useful step rather than an overwhelming task. If someone is ready to begin, the next step is a short matching process and arranging sessions that suit them.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Amy uses client-centred work that places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s priorities to decide what to focus on. It is useful for people who want a steady, empathetic space to talk about difficult feelings.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, often called CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. CBT offers practical exercises and simple experiments people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits and manage low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they agree on a way of working and adjust it over time if needed to make sure sessions stay relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person session, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can be better for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
