Amber Sexton, BACP

Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, and a wide range of family and parenting concerns. Sessions also cover intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career stress, and coping with life changes.

Amber listens to what is happening now and how the past affects present choices. She helps people make sense of patterns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment fears, or codependency. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and to develop practical coping skills that fit everyday life.

Her approach mixes evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work. She also draws on client-centred principles and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to help manage strong emotions. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps rather than jargon.

People often come for help with parenting stress, blended family issues, or communication problems at home. Amber also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image or grief after loss. She accepts clients from outside the UK and works in English.

Sessions move at the client’s pace. Amber uses reflective listening and goal-focused exercises. She will work together with each person to identify manageable changes and build skills for coping with difficult feelings and relationship strain.
