Background and approach

Sarah often helps with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem and phobias, as well as relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Her background includes study in therapeutic counselling and a diploma in counselling children and adolescents.

Over the years she has worked with people facing trauma, addictions, body image issues and eating problems, as well as grief, bipolar mood concerns and difficulties linked to chronic illness. Sarah uses a blend of approaches to shape practical sessions.

She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, client-centred work to keep the person’s goals central, and mindfulness to build awareness and calm. Solution-focused and existential ideas help set short-term goals and explore meaning when life shifts. People who choose to work with Sarah can expect a calm, non-judgemental style and a focus on clear, step-by-step changes.

She supports clients in building coping skills they can use between sessions and in planning small experiments to test what helps. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.

Using therapy approaches effectively online

Client-centred work keeps the person's needs and values at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client's pace, helping them identify what they want to change and why it matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, phobias and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adapt the plan based on what the client finds helpful. This collaborative process aims to match methods to goals and preferences rather than following one fixed model.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions work well when camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and travel while still focusing on meaningful change.
