About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She works in the United Kingdom and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sarah speaks English and uses a warm, straightforward manner in sessions.
Sarah offers calm, non-judgemental sessions where people can talk about feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected. She focuses on helping people find practical ways to cope with stress, low self-esteem and life changes.
Background and approach
Reaching out for help is framed as a brave first step, and she aims to make that step easier to take. She blends client-centred listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to help people make small, lasting changes. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships or past hurts are part of the problem.
Emotion-focused work is offered when strong feelings need to be understood and processed. Sarah has worked across both public and personal settings and has experience with a wide range of concerns. These include addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting pressures, and workplace stress.
She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, ADHD and identity or intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Sarah treats it as a collaborative task. She will discuss what matters to the person, try approaches that seem to fit, and adjust methods as goals or needs change. This means sessions can shift between practical skill-building and deeper emotional work when necessary.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
