About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor who aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. She emphasises listening and building trust so people feel heard from the start. Amber works at a steady pace, helping clients understand what is happening now and how the past may play a part. Her approach is warm and nonjudgemental and she focuses on what the person wants to achieve.
Amber uses a mix of talking and practical techniques to improve self-awareness and daily coping. She helps people notice patterns in relationships and reactions, then looks at small changes that can make a difference. Sessions often include reflecting on personal history, trying new ways to respond, and practising skills between meetings.
Her work covers relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety and issues related to identity and intimacy. Amber also supports people facing parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career stress and major life changes. She lists codependency and attachment-related issues among her additional focuses.
Amber trained with a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, and she is registered with BACP. Her background includes three years at The Awareness Centre (NHS) and further training in crisis planning, working with shame, and approaches for suicidal parts.
Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of their challenges and find practical ways to move forward. Amber encourages collaboration so that goals reflect each person’s values and real-life needs.
Approaches that guide online work and progress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name painful thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck and wants to live more in line with what matters to them.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help people who notice repeating patterns in intimacy, closeness or trust by exploring those patterns and trying new interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how symptoms show up in daily life. That conversation helps decide whether ACT, attachment work, or another method will suit a person best, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other demands. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Confirm the available session options with the therapist before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and what to expect.
