Background and approach

Mindfulness and existential questions are used when people want to explore meaning and values. Sessions can include drawing, imagery, or other expressive methods alongside conversation and skill‑building. Sarah aims to help people gain emotional clarity and strengthen their sense of self.

She focuses on small, manageable steps that can change daily life. Sarah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is recorded as BACP. She works with adults across a broad range of issues including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and identity topics such as LGBT matters.

People who choose her often want a straightforward, compassionate counsellor who mixes practical techniques with creative expression. Her experience includes supporting people with chronic illness, attachment issues, autism and other complex situations where tailored approaches are helpful.

How her approaches work online

Sarah uses client‑centred therapy to build a calm, collaborative space where the person leads the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs reflective listening and practical support to feel heard and understood.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches clear strategies to manage anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for tackling unhelpful thinking and building coping skills that can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk through goals, try approaches that fit the person's needs, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process lets therapist and client choose practical steps together rather than following a fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and the use of imagery or creative prompts. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter space is available. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief check‑ins, mood tracking, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or health needs and to keep momentum between sessions.
