About Sarah
Sarah draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She often uses client-centred principles to make space for a person’s own priorities. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot thinking patterns that maintain worries and to try small experiments that can shift daily life.
She also incorporates solution-focused techniques to build on what already helps, and attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. These methods are used together rather than as a fixed formula, so sessions stay relevant to the person in front of her.
Sarah has five years of experience in counselling across charities and private practice. She is a BACP member, which is stated as her professional credential. Her background includes work with people affected by sexual abuse, previous trauma and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People are invited to set simple goals and to take small, practical steps between sessions so progress can be noticed week to week.

How Sarah’s approaches work online
Sarah blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to suit what a person needs. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities so sessions feel relevant and respectful. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical experiments that can reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as work progresses.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel and are good for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while using the approaches described above.
