Amy Skarratts helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, family conflict and depression. She presents a calm, listening presence and encourages practical steps that make a difference day to day. Amy is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Amy uses a client-centred style that starts from the person's own experience. That means she listens first, then helps people notice their strengths and choices. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tests small changes to see what helps.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. People can expect to talk about what matters most to them, try simple coping steps, and review what is or isn't working. Amy frames the work as a partnership where the client leads the pace and priorities.

Her background includes nine years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That experience has involved supporting people through stressful periods and addictive behaviours alongside mood and relationship challenges. Practical details are discussed when someone first makes contact.

The initial steps focus on matching goals and planning how therapy fits into everyday life. Amy encourages small, manageable changes and supports people as they try them out.

How Amy's approaches work online

A client-centred approach places the person's experience at the heart of the work. In this style the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the client build on their own strengths and choices. It works well for people who need space to tell their story and decide their pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns and test small changes to see if life feels easier. This approach suits worries about anxiety, mood, and habits connected to addiction or stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree goals, try different techniques, and adjust what they do based on what helps. That collaborative way makes sure the plan fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face without travelling. Phone sessions are useful when internet quality is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days and let people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family duties or travel.
