About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor who brings five years of practice to helping people navigate difficult life moments. She aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, non-judgemental support and clear, practical guidance. Amber focuses on building trust so people feel heard and able to talk about what matters to them.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. She uses familiar talking therapies to help people increase self-awareness, work through past hurts, and find coping strategies for day-to-day life. Sessions emphasise understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour.
Amber has worked in both NHS-related settings and local counselling services, and she currently practices in the United Kingdom. Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, along with continuing professional development in areas such as crisis safety planning and working with suicidal parts.
People come to Amber for a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing career pressures, major life changes, and issues around intimacy and communication.
In sessions she keeps the work straightforward and focused on what the person wants to achieve. Amber offers a compassionate, client-centred style while drawing on practical tools from therapies such as cognitive work, acceptance-based methods and skills training to help people manage difficult emotions and make clearer choices.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then taking actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and making decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy issues and problems rooted in past hurt.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs shift during therapy.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow quieter check-ins without travel, and offer shorter or longer slots to suit a workday. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping continuity when schedules or locations change, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements to make sessions work for individual routines.
