Amber Sexton

Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience who aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to sort through difficult feelings. She emphasises building trust and working together so clients feel listened to and understood. Amber encourages people to move at their own pace while they make sense of their past and decide what matters next.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on improving self-awareness, developing coping skills, and exploring patterns that affect relationships, mood, and daily life. Amber uses practical strategies alongside reflective conversation to help people manage anxiety, low mood, grief and trauma-related difficulties.

Clients often bring concerns about relationships, self-esteem, stress, parenting and life changes. Amber also supports people facing issues such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image and neurodiversity-related challenges. She works with LGBTQ concerns and a range of intimacy-related and communication difficulties.

Her background includes work at an NHS awareness centre for three years and practice at Relational Counselling Tadworth. Amber holds a Bachelor of Science with honours in counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, and she maintains her BACP registration.

Therapy aims are set collaboratively. Amber combines techniques from cognitive and behavioural approaches, relational work on attachment, and acceptance-based methods to find what helps most. New clients are guided through the first steps and offered a pace that fits their life and goals.

How chosen approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on living in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns from early life and how these show up in current relationships and emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amber will discuss different methods and try out what feels most useful. Decisions about techniques and pace are made together so therapy matches the client’s needs and goals.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when they prefer an audio-only conversation. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools and handouts for remote sessions so the work can continue between meetings.
