About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist who draws on experience from clinical and workplace settings. She holds the NCPS credential and has ten years of practice supporting people through anxiety, stress and depression. Her manner is straightforward and calm, offering a place to talk and to work on what matters most.
Sarah uses practical talking therapies tailored to each person. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and gently challenge them.
Background and approach
She also teaches mindfulness and grounding skills to reduce overwhelming emotion and increase moment-to-moment focus. Her background includes work alongside multidisciplinary teams in the NHS and in independent practice. That experience informs how she approaches trauma, relationship concerns and ongoing stress.
She also draws on workplace psychology when clients want help with motivation or career-related strain. Sessions tend to combine cognitive work with compassion and acceptance. That can mean learning new coping skills from cognitive behavioural approaches, practising emotional regulation techniques from dialectical work, or exploring attachment patterns that affect relationships.
Sarah aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
People join by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits them.

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
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult feelings while identifying values and small steps that move them towards a more meaningful life. These approaches are explained in plain terms during the first meetings so the person can choose what feels most helpful. The therapist works together with each person to find the best fit based on their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made.
Online therapy here is offered through several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit more in-depth work and visual connection, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in and messaging is helpful for short reflections between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
