About Sally
Sally Rhodes is a counsellor who draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work and client-centred practice. She has a decade of experience in independent practice and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, self-esteem, addictions and depression. Sally explains things plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy people.
Sally began therapy herself and that personal journey shaped why she chose this work.
Background and approach
She later trained as a psychotherapist and has spent the last 10 years supporting people through change. That background informs a practical style that balances emotional understanding with clear steps forward. Her approach mixes talking therapy with mindfulness and reflective exercises.
Sessions often include noticing patterns, building awareness of feelings, and trying small changes between meetings. Sally adapts methods to each person instead of offering a single fixed plan. She also addresses specific concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, body image and caregiver stress.
Work can include processing past hurt, developing new relationship habits, or learning ways to manage panic and low mood. The focus is on what helps in day-to-day life. Sally works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging as ways to meet. People who start therapy with her complete a short questionnaire so sessions can be matched to their needs.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Sally commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, trust and communication. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can explore feelings at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sally discusses options during early sessions and will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. The first meetings are often used to agree on priorities and try a small practical step or exercise together.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins or when a written approach feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping the focus on real steps to feel better.
