About Sarah

Sarah Thompson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, motivation problems and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. Sarah uses a calm, straightforward style so clients can talk about difficult things without feeling judged.

She has 17 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly shown as BACP.

Background and approach

That background shapes a steady, practice-focused way of working rather than a single fixed method. Sessions focus on what the person needs now and on small, practical steps to feel better. Sarah draws on client-centred principles to make sessions collaborative.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness tools and emotionally-focused ideas are offered when they suit someone’s goals. In conversation she pays attention to relationships, communication and patterns that keep problems repeating.

Practical strategies are paired with space to process feelings. People who value a direct but empathetic listener tend to find her approach helpful. Sarah also works with concerns such as addiction, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and intimacy issues, plus related areas like attachment and codependency.

Her aim is to support people as they work towards clearer priorities and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Online support

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. It means the therapist listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions, which suits conversations about grief, depression and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear, step-by-step techniques to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will make choices together with the client, checking what matches the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative way helps adjust methods as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read expressions and use worksheets together. Phone sessions work well when a quieter call or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
