About Sarah

Sarah Dinenage is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression and relationship difficulties. She presents a calm, down-to-earth approach that aims to make talking about painful things feel manageable. Sarah’s style is warm and straightforward and she uses humour when it fits the moment.

She focuses on how patterns that began in childhood affect current relationships and emotional reactions. That includes looking at attachment and how early experiences shape the ways people connect, cope and repeat the same problems.

Background and approach

Sessions are a place to make sense of what keeps a difficulty going and to notice small shifts in thinking and feeling. Sarah has worked in counselling roles for 12 years across organisations and independent practice. Her experience includes helping people with trauma and abuse, family conflict, mood problems and issues around guilt, shame and abandonment.

She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain and problems with body image. In the room she listens for both what is said and what is left unsaid. Conversations aim to uncover the roots of a difficulty rather than only addressing the surface symptoms.

That helps people gain clearer self-understanding and find ways to change repeating patterns. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Sarah holds BACP registration and combines reflective work with practical conversation about day-to-day coping and relationships.

Attachment-informed therapy online and what to expect

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape our ways of relating now. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, distance and trust and is useful for anxiety, relationship worries and repeated relational problems.

Sarah uses reflective conversations to help people notice how old patterns show up in present life. That approach focuses on understanding what drives feelings and reactions, and then choosing different ways of relating. The therapist works alongside each person to work out which parts of the approach will be most useful for their goals and situation.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sarah will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adapt the work as you go. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel helpful and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to keep working between other commitments. Video calls are close to face-to-face and suit longer conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when less bandwidth or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
