Amy Skarratts
Supportive counsellor for stress and relationships
About Amy
Amy Skarratts helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict and depression. She meets individuals where they are and works alongside them to find practical steps forward. Amy presents as calm and approachable, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable.
With nine years of experience, Amy uses straightforward methods that fit everyday life. She follows a client-centred way of working, which means listening first and adapting to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, using clear tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change. Amy helps set realistic goals and breaks larger issues into small tasks.
Conversations often include practical exercises to try between meetings. Amy believes people bring strengths they may not notice at first. She helps identify those strengths and build on them so progress feels steady and owned by the person themselves.
The tone in sessions is respectful and down-to-earth. People can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with action. Amy supports people through setbacks as well as forward steps.
The work aims to reduce immediate distress while creating habits that last.

Practical therapy approaches online
Amy uses client-centred work to focus on each person’s priorities. This approach means the counsellor begins by listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the individual, which can help with feeling heard and understood.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers specific exercises and tasks that help reduce anxiety, manage low mood and tackle addictive behaviours by changing patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amy will talk through goals and preferences, then try methods that suit the person in front of her. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum between sessions.
