About Sarah
Sarah Labbett is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and life changes. Sarah approaches each conversation with respect and sensitivity.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Sarah listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the session to those needs.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward, practical techniques alongside open listening. Sessions can include thinking about patterns that keep problems going, trying different ways of responding, and simple mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety in the moment. People come to Sarah with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting strain, substance use, body image, intimacy-related issues, and workplace pressure.
She also supports those coping with relationship breakdown, blended family stress, and anger or control issues. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, and aspects of alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Sarah works from a client-centred stance and draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness tools, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused steps.
Together she and the client shape a plan that fits the person's goals and life circumstances. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where small changes can lead to clearer thinking and steadier moods. Sessions are offered in English.
Sarah frames her work around practical steps, thoughtful listening and steady support for people seeking clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on working at the client's pace. The counsellor offers empathic listening and follows what the person says to build trust and set goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, stress and sleep problems and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process allows small experiments and adjustments over time so the approach fits day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write or need shorter, on-the-go contact. These options help therapy fit around work, childcare and other commitments.
