About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and the NCPS credential. She welcomes enquiries from people who identify as LGBT and others seeking support for emotional and practical struggles.
Sarah aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. She listens without judgement and helps people put words to what feels hard. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what would help day to day.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with adults across a wide age range. She has helped people managing anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem. She has also worked with people facing trauma, addictions, eating or body concerns, mood conditions and relationship issues.
In practice she draws on a few clear approaches. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Client-centred methods keep the person and their goals at the heart of sessions.
Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used to build practical coping steps and short-term goals. Sarah describes herself as empathic and non-judgemental. She invites people to take things at their own pace while working towards small, manageable change.

Approaches that translate to online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can decide what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through difficult feelings and consider choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress and sleep problems.
Mindfulness-based ideas teach gentle attention to the present moment and simple exercises people can use to manage tension and intrusive thoughts. These techniques are often paired with other approaches to build day-to-day coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as things change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family routines, reduce time spent commuting and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written notes or simple home-based exercises between sessions to keep progress moving.
