About Sarah
Sarah Leppard is a counsellor with five years' practice based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sarah focuses on supporting people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem or major life changes.
She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals, with an emphasis on listening first and asking practical questions.
Background and approach
Sarah aims to help clients identify small, realistic steps they can try between sessions. Her work often addresses relationship concerns, career uncertainty, grief and coping with illness or caregiving stress. She also helps people managing addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, anger and the lingering effects of trauma and abuse.
Sarah pays attention to how past experiences influence present choices while keeping the immediate priorities in view. Sarah draws on several therapeutic approaches to guide sessions. That can mean focusing on the client’s own priorities, looking at the stories people tell about their lives, or exploring patterns from earlier relationships that still affect day to day life.
People who prefer a straightforward, conversational style tend to find her approach helpful. She supports clients to try new ways of coping and to notice small changes as they build toward larger goals.
Approach and online therapy options
Client‑centred work puts your priorities at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps you shape goals that feel manageable. This approach is useful for stress, low self‑esteem and decisions about work or relationships.Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. By separating the person from the problem, it can help reframe difficulties like anxiety, grief or patterns in relationships so new options become clearer.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs and preferences and suggest options. Decisions about methods and focus are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see body language and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check‑in. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing brief contact between sessions, or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
