About Sallie
Sallie Edwards is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She writes in plain language and focuses on making sessions feel calm and manageable. People come to her when life feels confusing, when they are grieving, or when relationships and parenting create strain.
She draws on client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural ideas and adapts them to each person. Sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
From there she helps untangle thoughts and feelings and looks for small, practical steps forward. Sallie has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also speaks from personal experience of parenting a child with additional needs, which informs her understanding of family strain and practical day-to-day pressures.
In a session she will offer gentle challenge and practical tools. For anxiety or panic she works on identifying triggers and calming techniques. For longer-standing patterns she helps explore how past events still shape current feelings.
She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Sessions are paced to each person, taking time to build trust and make sure next steps feel realistic and achievable.

Approaches Sallie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build calming routines, which can help with anxiety, panic or low mood.
Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences influence present feelings and behaviour. It uses reflective conversation to uncover repeating patterns and make sense of long-standing difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try different methods to see what fits. Clients and the counsellor decide together which tools and ideas feel most useful over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can be quicker or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support or those who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and everyday life.
