Sally Gardner, BACP

Sally Gardner supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self esteem and addiction. She also helps with grief, sleep and eating difficulties, career strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sally works with LGBT clients and those navigating separation, blended family issues or attachment wounds.

Sally uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens first and helps people spot patterns that keep causing pain. Conversations often look at past relationships and early experiences to understand current feelings and behaviours. Sessions aim to be practical and tailored to each person's needs.

Her approach draws on recognised therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and client-centred methods also appear in how she helps people manage emotions and improve communication. These methods are used to build coping skills and clearer personal choices.

She has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her details.

Sessions are offered in English and she can work with people internationally. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Sally’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and identify what matters most to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions because it links values to small, practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop safer ways of relating and setting boundaries. It can be helpful for intimacy concerns, abandonment fears and chronic relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sally will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and recommend which methods to try first. The plan can change as needs become clearer so the work stays collaborative and responsive.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well when you need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can fit busy days or ongoing support between calls. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel and help people maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
