About Amy
Amy Skarratts helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict or problems with addiction. She writes simply and directly, and she aims to make the first step easier. Amy believes people already have strengths to draw on and offers calm, steady support while they work through difficult moments.
Amy uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience at the centre of sessions.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find practical changes that can help day to day. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person and on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Her style is collaborative and down to earth.
Amy listens first, asks straightforward questions, and helps people set clear goals they feel ready to try. She keeps explanations simple and avoids jargon so families and individuals can understand the process quickly. Amy holds BACP, which is shown as a professional credential.
She has nine years of experience working in the United Kingdom and with international clients. That background informs how she balances empathy with practical tools for coping. People who choose to work with Amy often want a mix of listening and action.
She guides short-term strategies for immediate relief and supports the development of longer-term coping skills. Practical homework and follow-up are offered to help progress between sessions.

Approaches Amy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT. This approach looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it offers clear, practical steps.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Amy discusses goals and preferences at the start and adapts methods to suit each person. She works with clients to decide whether to emphasise listening, practical skills or a mix of both, and reviews progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when needed, phone sessions can fit into a work break or reduce bandwidth use, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and commitments.
