Amber Sexton , BACP

Amber Sexton is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She combines a compassionate, client-focused approach with practical therapeutic strategies to help people navigate relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and a broad range of life changes. Amber emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard, valued, and able to explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace.

Working collaboratively, Amber supports clients to make sense of their current difficulties by linking past experiences with present patterns and developing new coping skills that align with their values. Her practice includes work with ADHD, attachment issues, family and intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She has provided services at Relational Counselling Tadworth and spent three years at The Awareness Centre within the NHS, bringing both community and clinical perspectives to her work.

Amber's training includes a BSc (Hons) in counselling and an FdSc Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, along with continuing professional development on topics such as crisis safety planning for youth, approaches to working with suicidal parts, and strategies for addressing shame and body-related distress. As a BACP-registered practitioner - registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she offers empathetic, evidence-informed support to individuals and international clients seeking to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Amber draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor online work to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with unwanted thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour, supporting people with depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amber works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life context. She adapts techniques as progress unfolds so therapy remains relevant and client-centred.

Online therapy with Amber is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit work, family, and other commitments. These options make it possible to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to be scheduled in ways that suit each client’s routine and comfort.
