About Sarah
Sarah Anderson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and has four years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also offers help around LGBT-related concerns, motivation and intimacy issues.
Sarah aims to create an approachable space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Sarah works with practical steps when useful, and pays attention to feelings and life history where that seems helpful. She uses familiar techniques rather than technical language so the work feels grounded and doable. Sarah draws on client-centred ways of working, which means she focuses on each person’s priorities and pace.
She also brings mindfulness practices to help with stress and anxious thinking. Motivational Interviewing ideas are used to support change when someone feels stuck. Expect a calm, non-judgemental approach that balances feeling work and problem solving.
Sarah supports people through grief, trauma, addiction and relationship struggles, and with challenges such as sleep, eating and parenting strain. She is also able to discuss adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and gender dysphoria. Sessions are conducted in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being understood and accepted. The counsellor listens without judging and helps people set the direction of sessions. This approach is useful for building trust and talking through personal concerns.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and ease anxious thinking. These short exercises can help with sleep, overwhelm and low mood when practised between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses curious questions and gentle reflection to uncover what matters most and to boost motivation for small steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to agree what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. That way sessions stay relevant and respectful of how someone likes to work.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats before booking as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practical arrangements at the start helps match the approach and timing to everyday life.
