About Sally

Sally Gardner is a counsellor who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She meets people where they are and focuses on understanding what has led to low self-worth or recurring patterns. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to make early sessions straightforward and clear.

With seven years of practice, Sally explores how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. She often looks at childhood wounds and attachment patterns to make sense of intimacy problems and repeating relationship struggles.

Background and approach

This helps people see why they react in certain ways and where change might be possible. Sally uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to support coping and change. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based work to repair relational patterns.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. People come to Sally for a wide range of issues beyond relationships, including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, body image and sleep problems. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Conversations cover behaviour, emotions and simple skills to manage distress. Sally is registered with the BACP, works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. She encourages a measured first step - a short conversation to see if the fit feels right before committing to longer work.

Online support

Sally uses cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas in online sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours; it can be useful for depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current connections and intimacy, helping people change repeating patterns and feel more supported. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what helps. Together you can decide whether to focus on skills, values-based action or exploring relationship histories. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited and fit short breaks in a workday. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when writing helps you process feelings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around life and maintain continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
