About Amber
Amber Sexton is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the UK. She focuses on helping people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes. Amber aims to build a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and can talk at their own pace.
She draws on existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, and uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. This combination helps people understand how their thoughts and values shape daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be direct but warm, with an emphasis on what matters most to each person. Amber also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when they suit a person’s needs. These methods support coping with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles.
She works with issues such as grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, anger, career stress and long-term health concerns. Her background includes work in an NHS awareness centre for three years and practice at Relational Counselling Tadworth. Amber studied for a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and a Foundation Degree in Science Counselling.
She lists training on crisis safety planning, working with suicidal parts, and strategies for shame and the body. Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy follows the client’s pace and values, with the aim of clearer thinking and steadier coping in daily life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It is useful when someone feels stuck, uncertain or overwhelmed by big life questions and wants to find clearer direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches a person’s values; it can help with anxiety, depression and coping with chronic health issues.Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what helps. That collaboration means therapy can shift over time toward what works best for you and your situation.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction when you want to read expressions and body language. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break from work. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to work around family, work and travel commitments, and they let people choose the format that matches their day-to-day life.
