Sarah Alexander, BACP

Sarah uses widely recognised, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult emotions and rebuild routines. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour and introduces small practical changes that make daily life easier.

She also draws on trauma-informed strategies that prioritise safety and pacing when working through painful experiences. These strategies help people regain a sense of control and reduce the intensity of distress over time by working at a comfortable pace and using grounding or stabilising methods.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences and current circumstances. Together they review what helps and make adjustments as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and a range of contact styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
