About Sally
Sally Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor who combines a warm, non-judgemental manner with a clear focus on the problems that bring people to therapy. She uses an open, client-led way of working to help people talk through anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.
Sessions can take place online or face to face in the United Kingdom, and she can work remotely with people based abroad. Sally draws on nine years of practice, including work with people affected by trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She offers practical listening and reflective feedback to help clients make sense of painful events and difficult feelings. That includes support for grief, bereavement and the impact of past neglect or violence. People also come to Sally with concerns such as body image, attachment or abandonment issues, communication problems and guilt or shame.
She helps clients look at patterns that repeat in relationships and at unhelpful coping strategies like dissociation or control behaviours. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and reduce day-to-day distress. Sally has been involved in community services alongside her independent practice, including running a monthly bereavement support group and working with a local rape crisis centre.
She has also offered bereavement counselling to school students through NHS child services. She holds BACP membership, and keeps her skills up to date through ongoing professional development. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches Sally 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
Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining person-centred listening with trauma-focused techniques over time, and reviewing what’s helping as therapy progresses.
Online work makes this flexibility easier to access. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging offer a way to reflect between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel, and let clients choose the format that best supports their day-to-day life.
