About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist with ten years of clinical experience. She holds a National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) registration and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She aims to create a calm and accepting space to talk and reflect.
Sarah uses a mix of practical therapies in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help people notice patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
Sessions can include mindfulness exercises and skills for managing intense feelings. Her background includes clinical work in the NHS alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists. She also has experience in workplace wellbeing and has supported adults in personal and public settings.
This range means she is familiar with everyday pressures and longer-standing problems alike. In a session Sarah helps people spot unhelpful thinking and habitual reactions that began in childhood or after difficult events. She then works with them to try different ways of responding.
Practical tools, guided reflection and short exercises are used to build new patterns over time. People come to her for help with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment issues, eating and body image concerns, codependency and substance-related problems. She also supports those dealing with emptiness, dissociation, caregiver stress and communication or commitment worries.
The aim is clearer thinking and more effective coping in day-to-day life.
Practical therapy online using evidence-informed approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-guided action and simple exercises to help people move towards a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests and changes them with small behavioural experiments and coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and offers ways to understand and change patterns that affect current relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques accordingly. This is a collaborative process where client feedback helps shape which methods are used and how sessions progress.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions make it possible to work with visual cues and run guided exercises. Phone sessions suit people who need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let clients write when it fits their day and continue ideas between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules, energy levels and practical needs, while keeping focus on clear steps and skills that can be practised between sessions.
