Sarah Showler, NCPS

Sarah Showler is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting by offering a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them.

She has eight years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. Sarah focuses on issues such as relationships, self-esteem, confidence, motivation and coping with life changes. She also helps with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment difficulties and body image.

Her work addresses a wide range of personal challenges including codependency, communication and control issues, and eating or food-related difficulties. Sarah is familiar with more complex patterns too, such as dissociation, dependent or avoidant personality features, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

In sessions she encourages straight talk and practical steps. Conversations are grounded and paced to suit each person. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and reviewed over time.

Sarah works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. She combines clear, everyday language with techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help people build coping skills and regain a sense of direction.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Many clients benefit from straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on managing thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive-style methods help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop clearer, more balanced ways of responding to stress and anxiety. These techniques are useful for low mood, worry and issues with motivation.

Behavioural and skills-focused work emphasizes small, practical steps. This can include pacing activities to boost confidence, practising communication skills, and building routines that support mood and sleep. Such approaches suit people who want concrete changes and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters most to the client, try suitable techniques, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. Together they set goals and review what is or isn’t helping.

Online therapy in this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth discussion and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility for different needs and schedules.
