About Sallie
Sallie Edwards is a caring counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and the pressures of parenting. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are paced to suit each person and start with listening to what matters most to you.
Sallie draws on person-centred ideas to build trust and respect in the room. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas are used to gently look at how past experiences still affect you now. She has four years of professional experience and holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes supporting people through issues such as depression, grief, relationship problems, trauma and addiction as well as concerns around self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Because Sallie is also a parent of an autistic daughter she understands challenges linked to late diagnosis, masking, school attendance and friendship difficulties. That personal perspective informs her practical, empathetic approach to parenting concerns and related stress. In a typical session she listens without judgement and helps you untangle thoughts and feelings.
She will work alongside you to identify triggers for anxiety and try calming strategies that suit your life. The aim is to rebuild confidence so you can return to things you enjoy.
How Sallie’s approaches work online
Sallie uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the relationship and listening. This approach focuses on being heard, respected and accepted so people can talk openly and gain clarity about their feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions are linked. CBT offers clear strategies for anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns that can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sallie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That choice can change as therapy progresses based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into work, family life or busy schedules.
