About Sarah
Sarah Howell is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people with stress and anxiety. She offers calm, straightforward support for people worried about low mood, relationships, past trauma, addiction or changes in their life. Conversations aim to uncover small, practical steps that can make daily life easier.
Sarah has five years of experience working in both charity settings and independent practice. She has seen people from many backgrounds and age ranges, and brings that variety into familiar, everyday language.
Background and approach
Sessions involve listening closely, noticing strengths and then deciding on clear goals together. Her way of working mixes client-centred care with solution-focused techniques and elements of cognitive behavioural theory. That means Sarah starts by hearing what matters to the person in front of her, then helps them try simple experiments and actions to change unhelpful patterns.
She keeps plans short and realistic so progress is visible. People often come for help with sleep, eating, anger, grief, or intimacy-related worries. She also supports those dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue and LGBT concerns.
Conversations cover both immediate coping and longer-term change, depending on what the person wants. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to availability.
How Sarah's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations. In online work this can help people understand why they struggle with trust, closeness or fear of rejection, and then practise different responses in everyday life.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. A counsellor listens without judgement and mirrors back what they hear, which helps people feel heard and begin to make sense of difficult emotions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches clear techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT tools and short tasks between sessions make it easy to test new ways of coping for issues like anxiety, sleep or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore a person's needs, goals and preferences and agree on methods together. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what is most helpful as therapy continues.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins, shorter reflections and people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
