Amber Sexton is a counsellor who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing relationship and emotional difficulties. She draws on five years of clinical experience and works from a values-led, collaborative stance. Amber is BACP registered which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

People come to Amber with a wide range of concerns. She helps with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and trauma. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Amber works with issues linked to identity and LGBT concerns as well as career strain and life transitions. Her approach mixes gentle, client-centred listening with evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change patterns of thinking.

She draws on acceptance and commitment principles to clarify values and small steps forward. Attachment-based perspectives help when relationship patterns and early experiences affect current life. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client.

Amber aims to build trust and make space for feeling heard. She focuses on helping people understand their difficulties and on practical strategies they can use between sessions. Amber has worked in community and NHS-linked settings and in relational counselling services.

This background informs her practical, problem-solving style and her focus on relational safety. Those seeking an approachable counsellor who combines warmth with structured tools may find her a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that adapt to your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like low mood or excessive worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating when old patterns are causing pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose methods that fit your needs. That collaborative process may mean using one approach or blending several techniques depending on what helps you make progress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be easier when you need lower bandwidth or want to move around. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
