Sarah Semper, BACP

Sarah Semper works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and worries about self-esteem. Sarah also helps with identity and LGBT concerns and many practical struggles that affect daily life.

Sarah practises in the United Kingdom and has 14 years of experience. She holds BACP as her listed credential. She uses a mix of conversational and activity-based methods so sessions feel straightforward and useful.

In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred approaches that focus on the person in the room and what they want to work on. Cognitive behavioural techniques are included when helpful to identify thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes.

Sarah adapts her style to each person. Some people work through feelings by talking. Others prefer imagery, creative tasks or practical problem-solving. She aims to help people feel clearer about choices and more able to cope with day-to-day pressures.

Her background includes arts-informed work alongside talking therapy and CBT tools. That blend lets her suggest written exercises, visual activities or brief experiments between sessions. The goal is straightforward: build small steps that lead to more stability, confidence and calmer relationships.

Online approaches that match your needs

Sarah uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand repeating cycles in relationships and how to find different ways of connecting.

She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace. With this style the counsellor follows what matters most to the client and supports them to explore feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are included when useful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behaviour. These practical steps can reduce anxiety and lift low mood over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and choose methods together. Sessions can shift as those needs change, so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online formats offer flexibility for different days and lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
