Sarah Sorrento, NCPS

Sarah Sorrento helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, low self-esteem and grief. Sarah uses clear, practical conversations to help people make changes and cope better with life. Sarah has four years of experience as a counsellor and holds NCPS. She adapts her approach to the person in front of her rather than following a single method. That means sessions can include problem-solving, exploring past patterns, and simple skills to manage strong emotions. Sessions begin by understanding what the person wants to change. Sarah listens with warmth and without judgement. Together they set small, realistic goals and work at a pace that feels manageable. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas where useful. In practice that looks like noticing unhelpful thought patterns, learning calming techniques, and talking about how past experiences shape current feelings. She also uses client-centred and solution-focused techniques to keep work practical and goal-oriented. People come to Sarah for many reasons beyond anxiety and mood difficulties. She supports concerns such as parenting stress, career worries, eating or sleeping problems, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Her style is straightforward, empathetic and focused on what helps in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sarah often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease anxiety, low mood and certain addictions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. She believes finding the right approach is a collaborative task. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and personal preferences and suggest a blend of methods. Together they try approaches and adjust them based on what helps most for day-to-day life. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper discussion is needed. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or the session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions and for people who prefer writing over speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver structured therapeutic work that fits around busy lives.
