About Sarah

Sarah Mayberry is a counsellor who focuses on stress, anxiety and low mood. She uses a calm, collaborative way of working so people feel heard. Sessions are tailored to each person and aim to make everyday life clearer and more manageable.

She combines person-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and reflection from psychodynamic thinking. That mix helps identify unhelpful patterns, understand where they began, and try different ways of responding.

Background and approach

Conversations are grounded and straightforward. They pay attention to feelings, thoughts and everyday behaviour. Sarah can help people who are struggling with relationships, family strain, self-esteem, grief, or loneliness.

She also supports clients with attachment concerns, body image worries, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame. The focus is on small, realistic steps that fit into a busy life. Her practice is delivered online with appointments available in daytime, evenings and at weekends.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule. The service runs on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sarah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She has worked in counselling roles for 18 years. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Sarah blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. Person-centred work means the therapist listens closely and helps you feel understood, which can be useful when anxiety or low mood make things feel confusing. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and routines, which helps reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. Psychodynamic thinking looks at how earlier experiences might shape current patterns, which can be helpful for recurring relationship or attachment concerns.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the individual. That may mean using practical CBT tools one week and a more reflective conversation the next, based on what is most helpful for the situation.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video works well for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
