About Sarah

Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience. She holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Therapeutic Counselling and the credential NCPS. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English, and she accepts international clients.

Sarah responds to people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with depression, ADHD, addictions, grief and major life changes. She offers help around relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and ageing and geriatric issues among other areas.

Her way of working is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what a person needs right now. She listens closely, helps people make sense of difficult feelings, and works with them to set practical goals they can try between meetings.

Sarah draws on client-centred methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person's priorities. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness tools and solution-focused strategies are available when they fit a person's goals.

People who choose her can expect a straightforward, conversational approach. The first meetings typically look at what matters most and agree on small steps to try. Progress is reviewed together so plans can be adjusted as life changes.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of each session. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and tailoring the pace to their needs, which can work well through remote meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; this often includes homework tasks that can be discussed between sessions. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and life transitions, helping people face difficult questions and find ways to live more intentionally.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options, hear about the client's goals and preferences, and then decide together which methods to try first. That plan is reviewed as progress is made and can be adjusted to suit changing needs.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed and make scheduling across time zones simpler for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to continue regular work, review progress, and set practical tasks that slot into everyday routines.
