Dr. Sarah Enderby, BACP

Dr. Sarah Enderby helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and the knock-on effects of trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career worries, compassion fatigue, ADHD and questions about sexual orientation. Sarah works with individuals seeking clearer decisions during life changes or feeling stuck and alone.

Sarah practises in a straightforward, warm manner. She offers a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and confusing patterns. Sessions focus on understanding what drives behaviour now and how earlier relationships shape present reactions. Conversations are gentle but honest, aimed at increasing self-understanding and practical choices.

Her background includes a Doctorate and an MA degree alongside a Diploma in psychodynamic therapy. Sarah spent over 20 years working in the corporate research sector before retraining as a counsellor. She also worked with Relate, providing couple therapy counselling in that setting.

Sarah uses a blend of relational approaches to suit each person. Methods she draws on include Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred principles, Psychodynamic thinking, Internal Family Systems ideas and elements of the Gottman Method. These help explore patterns, improve communication and repair trust in close relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and are arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Her practice follows standard professional registration with the BACP, and she has five years of post-qualification counselling experience working directly with clients.

Relational approaches and online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people respond to closeness and trust now. It helps when attachment worries lead to anxiety, avoidance or repeated relationship conflict. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead so they can find their own solutions. It suits people who need space to explore identity, values or life choices in a supportive setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and choose what fits with a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted as the work develops.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to book on a break from work. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use short sessions when typing feels easier. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular contact more achievable for many people.
