About Sarah
Sarah Howell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a collaborative style and keeps sessions focused and practical. People often contact her about low mood, anxiety and problems with relationships and intimacy.
She draws on client-centred work to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful patterns and try out different ways of thinking and acting.
Background and approach
Solution-focused methods help set clear goals and work toward small, achievable steps. Over five years she has worked in charities and independent practice with people from many different backgrounds. That experience means she is used to issues such as trauma, sexual abuse, addiction, grief and struggles with self-esteem.
She also supports people coping with career change, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit busy lives. The counsellor encourages a steady pace and practical strategies alongside space to reflect on feelings.
People who want a straightforward, goal-aware approach often find this style useful. The emphasis is on working together to identify strengths and make gradual changes that feel manageable.

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 cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. This approach is useful for managing anxiety, depression and unhelpful thinking patterns by testing new behaviours and perspectives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and tailor sessions accordingly. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is low or for brief check-ins, live chat fits quick exchanges and messaging allows flexible, ongoing contact around a busy schedule. These options help people access therapy from different locations and at times that suit their routines.
