About Sally
Sally Gardner is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and relationship concerns. She also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, low self-esteem and addiction-related struggles. Sally works with people who are facing grief, parenting strain, career change, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
Sally trained as a mental health nurse and has seven years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears as BACP. Her background in nursing informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working with distress.
In sessions she explores past experiences and relationships to help people understand current reactions. That might include looking at childhood wounds, attachment patterns or repeated relationship cycles. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sally draws on a mix of talking therapies such as cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. The aim is to build clearer thinking, steadier emotion regulation and stronger connection to values and goals.
She describes her style as respectful, sensitive and compassionate. Practical steps and simple strategies are offered alongside deeper reflection. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches to use online
Sally commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based approaches alongside client-centred methods. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small steps toward a life that matters to them. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how those affect current connections and trust in others. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a collaborative relationship where the person leads the pace and topics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sally will discuss options and help decide what fits best for someone’s goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family commitments and reduced travel time. Online work can make it simpler to check in from a quieter space or to choose a shorter session when energy is limited. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options when you book to ensure they suit your routine and needs.
