About Amy
Amy Skarratts is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on what you want to change. Amy believes people know their own story and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions.
Amy has a Bachelor-level accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has nine years of experience working with people who are struggling to cope and who want clearer ways to manage daily pressures.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and down-to-earth rather than clinical, so conversations feel approachable. In sessions she listens first and asks practical questions to spot patterns that make things harder. Then she works collaboratively to try simple changes that can make a difference day to day.
She uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Amy also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help with anxious thoughts and low mood. These techniques offer concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
When addictions are part of the picture, she focuses on building routines and support that reduce relapses. People meet Amy by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that fit their schedule. She offers a range of online formats so people can find what works best for them.

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 draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes. CBT gives practical tools for easing anxiety and lifting low mood through short exercises and planned tasks between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Amy discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjusts the approach as progress is made. The choice is collaborative and may change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging can be used for ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family or travel.
