About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a BACP-registered counsellor with 17 years of practice. She brings a calm, approachable presence and aims to make seeking help straightforward for people who feel overwhelmed. Sarah welcomes direct, honest conversations about what is causing distress and helps people take practical steps forward.
She offers a relaxed and non-judgemental space where clients can talk about anxiety, low mood, trauma, addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain and other concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at finding what works for each person rather than applying one fixed method. She uses a mix of approaches to suit the issue and the individual. Sarah trained as a Person-Centred counsellor and describes her practice as integrative.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used where relationships and closeness are part of the difficulty. Her background includes work across public and personal services, giving experience with a wide range of issues.
She keeps supervision and ongoing professional development part of her routine and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sarah notes that therapy takes courage and that she will work collaboratively to set clear, manageable goals and practical steps for change.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sarah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes that ease symptoms. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often useful for anxiety, mood problems and sleep or eating difficulties.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult. This approach can be helpful for stress, low mood and long-term health challenges.
Attachment-based ideas guide work where past relationships affect current trust, intimacy or communication. These perspectives help people understand patterns that influence how they relate to others and to themselves.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try ideas together and adjust methods if something is not helping. Clients and the therapist agree on goals and review progress as therapy continues.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, while phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, slower paced reflection, or conversations that fit around work and family commitments. These options make it easier to keep continuity and to work on steps between sessions.
