About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults on relationship struggles, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and motivation. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Sarah uses a gentle, person-focused style that treats the client as the expert in their own life. She listens for patterns that matter and helps people spot strengths they can build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to suit each person, with practical steps between meetings where useful. Her background includes 13 years of professional practice and she holds BACP membership, which is a recognised UK counselling association. That mix of experience and membership informs how she works with complex issues like trauma, grief and compassion fatigue.
Sarah draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. She also uses attachment-based perspectives to understand how care experiences affect trust and closeness. Solution-focused tools are used alongside these approaches to set clear, short-term goals for change.
People come to her for help with a wide range of concerns including addictions, eating and sleeping issues, anger, career stress and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment difficulties and recovery from domestic violence. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical.
Sarah helps people create small, achievable steps and checks in on progress as therapy continues.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier care relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can use this to understand attachment wounds that affect trust and closeness in adult relationships. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to repeating patterns and feelings that come up in relationships and daily life, helping people notice and change long-standing responses. Solution-focused therapy is goal-directed and practical, aiming to identify small, manageable steps that move things forward quickly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree which methods suit the persons goals and preferences, reviewing what helps most as therapy progresses. This means approaches can be adjusted to focus more on understanding the past or on short-term problem solving as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, caring duties and day-to-day commitments.
