About Sarah
Sarah Stewart is a counsellor who uses person-centred, experiential ways of working to create a calm, non-judgemental space. She aims to help people feel heard and valued while they talk through what matters to them. Sarah presents herself as warm and genuine in sessions and focuses on working together with each person to find their own answers.
She blends practical conversation with occasional psychoeducation to make sense of difficult experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions may include exploring different parts of the self and the internal conflicts that cause pain or confusion. Sarah draws on ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Internal Family Systems to guide these conversations. Sarah has four years' experience and holds BACP accreditation.
Her background in psychology and psychotherapy informs how she links emotions, development and behaviour. This helps her offer approachable explanations while supporting change and self-understanding. People contact her for many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, eating and body image difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and commitment issues, dissociation and guilt or shame. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sarah asks that messaging be used as structured live sessions rather than informal exchanges.
To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that suits them.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and direction of work; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping habits.Finding the best way to work is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah will discuss different approaches in collaboration with each person and adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and keep a conversational flow. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and structured text-based messaging provide an option for shorter, focused sessions that fit around work or caregiving commitments. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and routines, while still using the same therapeutic approaches a therapist would use in face-to-face work.
