About Sarah
Sarah Lacey is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage low mood and stress. She works in a straightforward way and focuses on simple steps people can use between sessions. Sarah holds BACP and brings 22 years of experience to her work in the United Kingdom.
She aims to help people notice what matters most to them and build small, doable changes. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviours, then testing new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sarah also offers coaching-style input when clients want goal-focused support. Her main concerns include anxiety, depression and work-related stress, alongside grief, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She helps people make sense of adjustment difficulties and develops practical strategies to reduce overwhelm.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to each persons needs. Sarah typically works over a short course of sessions when that fits the goal, using clear exercises and reflection between meetings. She asks people to attend with realistic aims and helps break larger problems into manageable steps.
Her weekday availability is focused on daytime hours. Getting started involves a short matching process and then scheduling a time that suits both parties. The emphasis is on creating helpful routines and building skills people can use after therapy ends.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space so people can make sense of their experience. The therapist follows the client's pace and reflects what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sarah will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
Online sessions can take the form of video calls, phone meetings, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit short check-ins or when someone prefers written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and they offer flexible ways to keep progress going between face-to-face meetings.
