About Sarah
Sarah Henderson is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach and uses cognitive behavioural techniques. She offers calm, practical help for people feeling stressed, anxious or low. Sarah aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful so people can talk honestly about what is worrying them.
She has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Sarah tailors discussions and plans to each person’s situation. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
Sarah supports people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, problems with sleep, addictive behaviours, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges connected to gender and sexual identity. She also addresses matters such as grief, parenting strain, career stress, and feeling isolated or overwhelmed.
In practical terms she blends listening with tools and small tasks to try between sessions. Cognitive behavioural ideas help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centred work gives space to be heard and understood without judgement.
People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor often find this combination useful. Sarah encourages gradual steps and realistic goals, and she works with each person to find what helps them move forward.
How Sarah uses client-centred work and CBT online
Sarah uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive space where people can speak freely and feel listened to. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and working at their pace so goals reflect what matters to them.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT provides practical techniques and short exercises that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match techniques to someone’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make therapy more flexible and can fit around work, caring duties or travel.
