About Amy

Amy Skarratts is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, family conflict and depression. She believes clients know their own stories and builds on existing strengths to help them move forward. Amy frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers steady support for people taking a first step toward change.

With nine years of experience in the field, Amy brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions. She listens without judgement and helps people identify small, achievable steps. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on skills that can be used between sessions.

Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful and accepting atmosphere. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour to find workable changes. These methods are used together to suit each person’s needs rather than as a one-size-fits-all package.

People meet Amy to talk through immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Sessions often include exploring options, trying new ways of reacting, and reviewing what works. The aim is to help people feel more able to cope with day-to-day pressures.

Amy works in the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English. Her professional registration is with BACP, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. If someone wants to try counselling with her, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. This approach focuses on listening and on reflecting what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity around goals.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT offers practical exercises and simple steps to try between meetings, which can help reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Amy will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts conversations and exercises so they fit what the individual hopes to get from counselling.

Others appreciate working through practical CBT exercises between sessions to maintain progress in day-to-day routines.
