About Amy
Counsellor (BACP), 9 years' experience. Amy Skarratts helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, family conflict and depression. She uses client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural tools to support practical change.
Amy begins by listening to each person's story and values the client's own perspective. She works in a direct, person-focused way that encourages clients to notice their strengths and to name small, manageable goals. Sessions often include talking through patterns of thought and behaviour and trying out different responses between meetings.
Her client-centred approach means conversations are shaped by what each person brings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, used alongside this, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers exercises to test new ways of responding. These methods are presented in plain language and with clear steps to try at home.
Amy has nine years' experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is listed to indicate her professional affiliation as supplied in the original biography.
People who choose her can expect a focused, practical style that balances listening with suggested strategies. She encourages clients to set achievable aims and to reflect on what works between sessions. If booking, confirm the session formats offered at that time before scheduling.

How client-centred work and CBT translate to online sessions
A client-centred approach focuses on the person's perspective. The therapist listens closely, asks questions to clarify what matters to the client and follows the client's lead in deciding what to address. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to tell their story and identify what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and to try alternative behaviours. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety and low mood because it gives concrete skills to practise between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared task. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether to emphasise client-centred listening, CBT techniques, or a combination. That decision will be guided by the client’s goals, preferences and how they respond to early sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins, audio-only meetings if someone prefers not to be on camera, or scheduling outside usual travel time, depending on the formats offered at the time.
