About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people facing relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports clients with issues related to LGBT identity, intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting stress, anger, career change, and ADHD.
Amber uses a mix of talking therapies to help people make sense of their experiences. Sessions focus on noticing emotions, understanding attachment patterns, and learning practical coping skills. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address feelings that are hard to name.
Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Previous roles include work at a community centre and a three-year post at an NHS-associated awareness centre.
In session Amber works at a client’s pace. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and find new ways to respond to old patterns. Practical strategies may be used to manage mood, reduce anxiety, or improve communication.
People who prefer an approach that explores emotions and attachment alongside practical techniques may find this style helpful. International clients can be accommodated. To begin, follow the site’s process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and how they shape relationships and responses. It helps people notice patterns in how they react and make space to work through strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and helps people take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, useful for understanding repeated conflicts and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps match emotional exploration and practical skills to what the client needs.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering a quieter setting with less background interruption. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to suit schedules and practical needs while focusing on the same emotion-focused and skills-based work used in face-to-face sessions.
