About Sarah
Sarah Lacon is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress and anxiety. She supports clients facing grief, parenting strain, anger, career difficulties and challenges linked to neurodiversity and inclusion. Sarah holds NCPS as a credential and practises from the United Kingdom.
She aims to make the first steps towards change feel less daunting. Sessions are warm and non-judgemental. Conversations focus on what is troubling the person now and on small practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sarah draws on approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of responding and build calmer routines. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her thinking when exploring deeper life themes.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens closely, reflects back what she hears and helps set realistic goals. Work often combines talking, practical exercises and brief homework to test what helps in everyday life.
Sarah has three years of professional experience. She welcomes conversations about stress, addiction concerns, relationship or family issues, trauma and other matters listed in her profile. People who choose to work with her can expect steady, practical support as they try new ways of coping.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood. In online sessions this often means the counsellor reflects what the client says and helps them identify their own priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in how they act. Online CBT can include simple at-home exercises, thought records and short behavioural experiments to practise between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then try methods that fit the person. Sessions can adapt over time if one way of working does not feel helpful, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can suit a shorter check-in or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief reflections, written exercises and ongoing touchpoints between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping focus on practical change.
