Amber Sexton, BACP

Amber Sexton is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people navigate relationship challenges, trauma, grief, self-esteem difficulties, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of life adjustments. She approaches therapy with compassion and a client-focused style, prioritising a collaborative relationship in which clients feel heard, respected, and able to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Amber aims to help clients make sense of present difficulties by understanding past experiences, increasing self-awareness, and developing practical coping skills that align with their values and goals.

In practice she seeks to build genuine rapport and trust, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space for exploration and change. Her approach emphasises working together to identify meaningful goals and to find pathways forward that feel realistic and sustainable for each person. Amber is committed to guiding clients step by step, tailoring pace and interventions to individual needs and preferences.

Amber works at Relational Counselling Tadworth and previously spent three years at The Awareness Centre within the NHS. Her formal qualifications include a BSc (Hons) in counselling, a FdSc Foundation Degree in Science Counselling, and BACP registration - the latter indicating membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has undertaken continued professional development training such as Embracing Suicidal Parts: Therapy to Healing, Crisis Safety Planning with Youth and Teens, and approaches for working with shame, self-loathing, and the body.
