Amy Skarratts , BACP

Amy Skarratts is a UK-licensed therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who draws on nine years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and depression.

She works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already has strengths that can be used to navigate challenges. With a warm, nonjudgmental stance she helps clients identify those strengths and apply them to real-life situations, guiding practical steps toward clearer thinking and more satisfying relationships.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and Amy offers steady support throughout that process. She collaborates with clients to set goals and explores approaches that fit their needs, helping them build coping strategies, improve communication, and find healthier ways of managing stress and addictive behaviors. Her focus is on creating an encouraging environment where people can make meaningful change at their own pace.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Amy Skarratts integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice to address a range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people tap into their own resources so they can explore feelings, make sense of difficult experiences, and build confidence in decision making. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work itself, and Amy collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She draws on assessment and client feedback to tailor techniques and pacing, balancing supportive listening with practical strategies to meet individual goals.

Online therapy with Amy can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel constraints, or different comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support from wherever a person is located, while working toward meaningful change at a sustainable pace.
