Amber Sexton, BACP

Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She focuses on helping people make sense of difficult changes and painful experiences. Amber aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and can work at a pace that suits them.

She draws on a range of therapeutic ways of working to help people build self-awareness and new coping strategies. Sessions centre on listening, reflecting, and finding steps that fit each person’s values and goals. Amber emphasises a warm, collaborative relationship as the basis for change.

Her background includes time at The Awareness Centre within the NHS and work in relational counselling. She holds a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Amber often supports people with relationship strain, trauma and grief, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns. She also works with issues such as ADHD, coping with life changes, caregiver stress and ageing and geriatric issues. Her approach adapts to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

In sessions she will help you notice patterns, explore what matters to you, and practise small changes that add up. The emphasis is on practical tools, emotional understanding and moving towards a life that feels more manageable and meaningful for the individual.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect with others now, and it helps when intimacy, trust or abandonment issues are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you go along.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It also means you can work with a therapist while living in a different region or country. Registered or accredited professionals can use different techniques online, from talking and reflective exercises to practical skills coaching, so the focus remains on making changes that fit your everyday routines.
