About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor who offers supportive, practical therapy aimed at helping people make sense of their difficulties. She prioritises a warm, collaborative relationship and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and finding coping strategies that fit everyday life.
Amber brings five years of counselling experience and has worked in community and NHS-linked settings. That background informs a straightforward style that balances emotional understanding with tools you can use between sessions. She works at the client’s pace and aims to help people move forward in ways that match their values.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and strategies from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Amber uses these approaches to help with sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, grief and self-esteem concerns among others.
People often come to her for help with life transitions, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, body image and eating issues, and chronic health or caregiving challenges. She also supports clients dealing with intimacy-related worries, abandonment themes, communication problems and career stress.
Sessions are offered in English and Amber works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical details about getting started are handled through the site’s matching and scheduling process, where prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and choose a suitable appointment time.
How Amber’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them. It’s useful for worries, sleep disruption and life changes because it focuses on values and small practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence current connection and trust, and it can aid work on intimacy, abandonment themes and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Amber will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques from different approaches and adjusting pace, homework and focus as the work develops.

Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, fit sessions into a busy day and reduce travel time. It also lets people access a therapist from different locations and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
