Background and approach
Sarah lists LGBT issues among her focus areas and works with related concerns. Sarah uses a mix of well-known approaches to shape sessions to each person. She draws on client-centred ideas to follow the person’s pace.
She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also brings mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas into longer conversations, and uses solution-focused steps for practical problems. Sessions are built around what the person needs right now.
Sarah describes her style as sensitive and compassionate. She tailors conversation and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She holds a BACP credential, which is recorded as BACP.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and build confidence in their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link. It helps with anxiety, unhelpful thinking patterns, and practical habits that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time so the approach can change if something else would fit better.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue working through issues across weeks and months without needing to rearrange large parts of a day. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical arrangements when you arrange a first session.
