About Sarah
Sarah Stewart is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, experiential way of working. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people feel seen and listened to. Her practice is practical and down to earth, with short, clear conversations that focus on what matters most to each person.
Sarah draws on a background in psychology and psychotherapy to help people unpack difficult experiences. She brings in simple explanations about how the body and mind interact.
Background and approach
Sessions may include gentle challenges and some teaching about thoughts, feelings and behaviours when helpful. Her work often looks at anxiety and stress alongside relationship and family issues. She also supports people with low mood, changing life circumstances, trauma and concerns around identity and sexuality.
She can help with eating and body image worries, anger, self-esteem and feelings linked to shame or guilt. Sarah uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. That can include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, somatic techniques that focus on bodily experience, and methods that explore internal parts and multiple perspectives.
The aim is to find practical ways forward that feel manageable. Sessions are held online by video, phone or live messaging. Sarah prefers live messaging rather than ongoing unstructured text exchanges.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that suits them.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It supports people to identify values and take small steps towards a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. This is helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-centred work creates a supportive, non-judgemental space in which people can explore their experience at their own pace and feel heard.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Sessions may blend approaches so therapy feels tailored rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live messaging or text can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations.
