Sarah Semper, BACP

Sarah Semper is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and life transitions. She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and motivation. Sarah also works with grief, trauma, parenting challenges and a range of complex issues such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress and ageing-related concerns.

Her approach blends talking therapy with creative methods drawn from an arts psychotherapy background. That can include art, imagery and other expressive techniques alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. Sessions aim to help people find emotional clarity and practical steps they can use between meetings.

Sarah draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses mindfulness strategies to build moment-to-moment coping and to reduce overwhelm. In practice she focuses on simple, usable tools and clear conversations about goals and next steps.

She has worked across a wide age range and with many different life circumstances. People often come for help with abandonment or adoption issues, neurodiversity concerns such as autism, chronic illness and pain, or for support around sexual expression and alternative cultures. Sarah describes her work as collaborative and grounded in respect for each person’s story.

Sessions are offered in English and she sees international clients through the service. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options and scheduling details.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping. CBT tends to suit concerns like anxiety, low mood and practical problem-solving by breaking difficulties into manageable steps.

She also works in a Client-Centred way, offering a warm, non-directive space where a person’s own goals guide the work. This helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and build self-worth at their own pace.

Attachment-Based ideas are used to understand how early relationship patterns affect current behaviours and intimate connections. That approach can be useful for relationship issues, abandonment histories and attachment-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sarah will work together with each person to agree which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means approaches can be adapted as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking. Confirming formats and scheduling helps fit therapy into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations, save travel time, and offer shorter or more flexible meeting times when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, creative tasks and mindfulness practices to an online setting so they remain practical and relevant.
