About Amy

Amy Skarratts is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict and depression. She works in English and accepts international clients. Her approach is supportive and focused on the person in front of her, helping them make changes that fit their life.

Amy draws on nine years of experience in the field and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. She emphasises that each person knows their own story, and she looks for the strengths a client already has. Her manner is warm and practical, aimed at making small, manageable steps feel possible.

In sessions she uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the client and to create a non-judgemental space for talking. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on patterns of thought and behaviour and practical ways to change them when they are causing distress.

People can expect conversations that combine active listening with straightforward tools and exercises. Amy supports clients as they try out new ways of coping, reflect on what works, and adjust plans over time. The goal is clearer choices and more control in daily life.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online sessions

Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit remote work. Client-Centred Therapy here means the therapist follows what matters most to the person. The focus is on listening, reflecting and helping clients name their priorities and strengths.

With Cognitive Behavioural Therapy she offers clear, practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT tools often include simple exercises, short behavioural experiments and planning steps that people can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and adapt methods as they go. Together they decide which ideas to try first and how to measure progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports working with practical exercises between meetings so change can happen in day-to-day routines.
