About Amy
Amy Skarratts is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years of experience in practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship tensions, family conflict and low mood. Amy regards clients as experts in their own stories and works alongside them to find practical ways forward.
Her style is straightforward and people-focused. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then test small changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Conversations are practical and action-oriented, with steps to try between meetings.
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and change responses that keep problems going. She also draws on client-centred therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Those methods are used together to keep sessions grounded and usable.
She has worked with individuals on a range of concerns from substance use to relationship strain. Amy supports exploring practical coping strategies, communication skills and ways to manage intense emotions. Sessions often include goal-setting and short experiments to test different approaches in real life.
Amy works with people who prefer sessions in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details via the service matching process.
How Amy uses CBT and client-centred work in online sessions
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions focus on practical steps - tracking thoughts, testing small behavioural changes and reviewing what helps. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems linked to addictive behaviours.She also uses client-centred therapy to listen and follow what the person finds most important. That approach keeps the work grounded in the client’s priorities and supports clearer goals and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about methods and pace are made together so the sessions stay useful and manageable.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so clients are asked to check the current session options during the matching process. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
