About Sarah
Sarah came to therapy after a personal crisis and found it life changing. That experience led her to change career direction from senior corporate researcher to mental health work. She holds an MA and a doctorate, and also completed a diploma in psychodynamic therapy. Her background includes work with Relate offering couple counselling.
In sessions she focuses on understanding patterns that repeat over time, especially around attachment and relationships. Conversations are practical and reflective, helping people notice how past experiences shape present choices. She often explores intimacy, communication and feelings of abandonment or emptiness.
Sarah also draws on client-centred ways of working, where the person’s own goals guide the work. She uses this alongside structured ideas from the Gottman Method when relationship communication and conflict are central concerns. Internal Family Systems ideas may be used to help people understand inner parts that hold fear or shame.
People usually come with life transitions, identity questions, or struggles with self-esteem and anger. Sarah aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for those conversations. She encourages practical steps alongside understanding, so people can try new approaches between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand responses to closeness, abandonment and trust issues, and can be useful when separation or divorce brings up old attachment wounds.Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s goals at the centre. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own answers, which suits work on identity, self-esteem and life decisions.
The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and managing conflict. It can help couples or individuals who want clearer conversations and fewer repeated arguments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life. It often makes it simpler to have shorter check-ins between work commitments, remove travel time, or choose quieter surroundings that suit you. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively over distance.
