About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She offers a warm, steady presence for people facing difficult changes and emotional pain. Amber aims to create a space where clients feel heard and respected as they talk about what matters most to them.
She focuses on helping people make sense of their past and how it affects their present. That often means looking at relationships, grief, trauma, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Amber also supports issues around eating, sleeping, parenting, intimacy and identity, including LGBT concerns. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. Sessions centre on listening first, then trying practical steps that feel manageable.
Amber uses a mix of techniques informed by approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural work and attachment-based thinking. Clients can expect conversations about values, coping skills and small behavioural experiments to test new ways of handling problems. She also helps people working through longer-term patterns like abandonment, attachment difficulties and codependency.
Amber pays attention to how life events, health challenges and caregiving stress shape emotional responses. Therapy with Amber balances practical tools and reflective conversation. She aims to help people notice their patterns, try different responses and build a life that fits their priorities.
Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients.

Online support
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Amber will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let you keep visual contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need more frequent, brief contact. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across time zones and when travel is difficult, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on the approaches that work best for them.
