About Sally
Sally Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor who uses a calm, non-judgemental approach. She draws on nine years of practice to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, loss or relationship pain. Sally works with a wide range of worries and offers sessions online and in the United Kingdom.
Sally describes therapy as a place to slow down and make sense of difficult feelings. She listens closely and follows what each person brings to sessions, helping them name what is happening and decide what matters most.
Background and approach
Conversations are plain and practical so people can use what they learn between appointments. Her focus includes trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, depression, and challenges linked to identity and relationships. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, dissociation and the fallout from separation or infidelity.
These topics are explored at the client’s pace and within a compassionate relationship. Sally has worked in a range of settings, including NHS child services where she provided bereavement counselling to school students, and with a local rape crisis organisation. This mix of roles informs her practice and her ability to respond to complex emotional situations.
She keeps her skills current through continuing professional development. Sally is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. She is able to work remotely with people based outside the UK while her practice operates under English and Welsh law.
How Sally uses client-centred and trauma-focused work online
Sally works mainly from two approaches that translate well to online care. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre; the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits anxiety, relationship concerns and low mood because it focuses on understanding day-to-day feelings and choices.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing effects of past harm. It involves gently looking at how traumatic events shape current thoughts, feelings and reactions and building coping ways to feel safer in everyday life. This approach is used when a history of abuse, dissociation or severe relationship harm is part of the picture.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort between client and counsellor. Sally will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable in early sessions, and she adapts methods as work progresses. The aim is to find a way of working that fits the person's needs rather than force a single method.
Online therapy offers practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
