About Sarah
Sarah Charney (NCPS) uses well-established talking therapies to help people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on ways to reduce distress.
Sarah aims to make the first meetings feel calm and manageable. Her work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often mix problem-solving skills with noticing thoughts and feelings in the moment. Sarah has ten years' experience working in independent practice, the NHS and workplace settings. That background means she is used to helping people with a wide range of concerns, from panic and depression to relationship strains and burnout.
She can also support people facing trauma, issues around self-worth, and certain addictive behaviours. In sessions, Sarah helps people identify unhelpful thinking and habitual reactions. She works on small, achievable steps so changes can feel realistic.
Therapy may include practical exercises, coping skills and reflective conversation to build new patterns. Sarah is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She works in the United Kingdom and holds postgraduate qualifications in counselling psychology and related fields.
Sessions are offered in English and follow a collaborative pace chosen with each person.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It uses values-based goals and simple exercises to help someone act in ways that matter to them despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours. It often includes practical exercises between sessions to build new habits and reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs and goals and try methods that fit your situation. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as you go, so sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer conversations and interactive exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when you prefer not to use video or have limited bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins, paused reflection or people who find typing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
