About Sarah
Sarah Semper supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood, including depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and life changes. Her work includes concerns such as grief, trauma and parenting-related strain.
Sarah aims to help people feel clearer about themselves and better able to manage day-to-day challenges. Sarah has 14 years of experience as a counsellor. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Background and approach
Her background includes arts psychotherapy, so she often blends creative techniques with talking therapy. That can mean using imagery, drawing or other expressive methods alongside conversation. Sessions are conversational and practical.
She draws on client-centred listening so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when it helps to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices are also available when they suit the issue.
People who come to Sarah often want clearer boundaries, more stable mood, or help handling change after loss or difficult experiences. She offers straight talk, gentle challenge and practical steps to try between sessions. Work is paced to the individual and shaped by what the person wants to achieve.
Sarah works with adults and is comfortable supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients and those with neurodiverse traits. Sessions take place online by a mix of video, phone and messaging formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical tasks like changing routines or tackling unhelpful thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as goals and preferences become clearer. The choice of technique is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work, caregiving or busy days. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. This range makes it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try different formats as needs change.
