Sarah Trent, BACP

Sarah Trent works in a person-centred way to help people regain steadiness and move towards change. She is a counsellor with a BACP credential and brings six years of experience supporting adults through stress and anxiety. Short conversations focus on what matters most to the individual.

She supports people facing depression and low self-esteem. Relationship concerns, trauma and past abuse are also areas she addresses. Sessions look at practical steps as well as feelings, helping people feel understood and clearer about next moves.

Guilt, shame and isolation are often linked to other worries, and she helps people untangle those connections. Social anxiety and specific phobias are approached with gradual, steady work that fits each person. She also talks with people about life purpose and motivation when direction feels unclear.

Sarah trained at the University of Warwick and holds a BA honours in counselling and psychotherapy. She also works as a health and wellbeing coach alongside counselling. That mix informs a focus on short-term tools and longer-term personal growth.

Her style is respectful and compassionate, aiming to create a calm space for honest conversation. Work is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted over time. The emphasis is on small, realistic changes that add up to meaningful progress.

Person-centred support and online therapy options

Person-centred counselling focuses on the person rather than a fixed method. It means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and feeling stuck.

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as practical coping strategies are often blended into sessions. That can include simple behavioural steps to reduce anxiety or structured ways to tackle low mood and isolation. These techniques aim to give manageable tools alongside the person-centred conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, challenges and preferences, and together they will choose what to try. Adjustments are made over time so the plan fits the person and their progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or want ongoing written support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around daily life and different routines.
