About Amy

Amy Skarratts works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict and depression. She uses a client-centred style and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people talk through present problems and plan practical steps. Amy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years' experience in the field.

Amy believes people know their own stories and brings that view into sessions. She listens for strengths and helps people use those strengths to manage difficult feelings and situations. Sessions involve talking, reflecting and trying small changes between meetings to see what helps.

Her work with anxiety and stress focuses on understanding how thoughts and behaviours affect mood, then testing different ways of responding. When addictions are a concern, she looks at patterns that keep the problem going and helps people plan achievable alternatives. Relationship and family issues are approached by clarifying what each person wants and identifying practical steps to change interactions.

Amy describes her style as straightforward and supportive, with an emphasis on clear goals and small, realistic tasks. She uses elements of Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to guide conversations and practice. The aim is to make sessions useful in day-to-day life rather than only talking about feelings.

She has worked in the United Kingdom for nine years and holds BACP registration. That experience includes working across a range of common mental health and interpersonal concerns.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as core ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says and helping the client find their own solutions; it is useful for people who want a space to make sense of their feelings. CBT involves looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and testing small, practical changes; it often helps with anxiety, stress and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has and has not helped before, and they will agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative step-by-step process that can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful to use online sessions to practise CBT exercises between meetings and to work through relationship or family topics from wherever they are located.
