About Sarah
She uses a Client-Centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of the work. That means listening with warmth and respect, reflecting back what matters to you, and helping you notice your own strengths. She may gently challenge you when it helps, while staying alongside you through the process.
Sarah helps people working through grief, stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, eating concerns, relationship strain, addictions, parenting pressures and coping with life changes. She also has a focus on ageing and geriatric issues and how life transitions can feel at different stages.
Her practice follows the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she takes part in regular supervision and ongoing training. She aims to help clients build more self-awareness and find clearer ways forward.
If you’re unsure what you want to work on, the first meetings are an opportunity to explore your priorities. The emphasis is on helping you make sense of how you feel, notice your own resources, and test small changes that fit your life.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what you say. The counsellor aims to create an accepting space so you can talk through feelings and make sense of your experience. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, grief and coping with life transitions.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will work with you to decide what feels most useful based on your goals and preferences. Together you can try ways of working and adjust them if something does not fit.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule, or reduce the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh practical choices and pick formats that suit your day-to-day life.
