About Sarah
Sarah Slade is a counsellor who focuses on stress and anxiety. She also helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, career worries and life changes. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to meet each person's needs in practical ways.
She uses conversations that centre on the person in front of her. That means listening carefully and following what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people recognise unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions are designed to be straightforward and goal-focused when that suits the client. Sarah works with people who want short-term support for a specific problem as well as those who prefer to work through longer-term patterns. She explains ideas in plain language and sets simple, achievable steps between meetings.
Sarah has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds a BACP credential. Her background includes helping people manage stress, work through grief, rebuild confidence and cope with career uncertainty. She aims to be practical, steady and non-judgemental in sessions.
When someone first gets in touch, she will help them clarify what they want from therapy and suggest an approach to try. Many clients find it useful to mix client-centred work with cognitive behavioural strategies to get both emotional support and hands-on tools.
How Sarah’s approaches work online and what to expect
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects what matters to the person and follows their pace, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will discuss what you hope to achieve and suggest ways to combine client-centred support with CBT techniques. Together you can adjust the plan as goals or circumstances change so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for quick check-ins or step-by-step tasks. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit around daily life for people across the United Kingdom.
