Amber Sexton

Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience working in the UK. She offers a warm, down-to-earth approach that aims to help people make sense of hard feelings and difficult situations. Amber’s sessions focus on listening first, then working together toward practical steps that fit each person's life and goals.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through relationship strains, loss, anxiety, anger and stress. Amber also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, sleep or eating concerns, and changes such as career shifts or caregiving challenges. She places emphasis on understanding how past experiences affect present choices.

Her therapy draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based thinking, and cognitive and dialectical techniques to build coping skills. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and practical tools, with pacing set by the client. Amber also brings experience supporting people with ADHD, intimacy issues and identity matters such as LGBT concerns.

Her background includes three years at an NHS-affiliated centre and work in relational counselling in Tadworth. She holds a BSc (Hons) in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Amber has completed workshops in crisis safety planning and working with shame and the body.

People who choose her often want straightforward, compassionate support to manage emotions, improve relationships and find realistic coping strategies. Amber aims to help people move forward at a steady, manageable pace.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Amber uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and ongoing stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her work; it looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship patterns.

Finding the right way to work is a joint process. Amber will talk with clients about what matters to them and which methods feel most helpful. Together they decide how to balance practical skills, emotional processing and values-led actions so the plan fits the client’s goals.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around family, work or caregiving duties, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people also find that talking from a familiar setting helps them focus on problem-solving and practising new coping strategies.
