About Sarah

Dr Sarah Enderby helps people who are struggling with sleep problems, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy worries. She also offers support for grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career concerns and decision-making. Her approach is practical and conversational, aimed at making sense of what feels overwhelming in day-to-day life.

Sarah began her career in the corporate world, spending over 20 years as a senior researcher focused on human behaviour. A personal crisis led her to experience counselling herself, which changed the direction of her life and inspired her to train as a therapist. She holds an MA degree and a doctorate, and she has a diploma in psychodynamic therapy. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

In sessions she keeps the tone calm and exploratory. She offers space to talk about past hurts, attachment wounds and the patterns that repeat in relationships. Conversations look at both feelings and practical choices so people can try things differently between meetings.

She often works with people questioning sexual orientation and those who identify with LGBTQ+ communities. Sarah pays attention to how family history and early relationships shape present behaviour and self-worth.

Her style draws on psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based thinking, combined with client-centred listening. She also uses elements from the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems when they fit the person’s needs. The aim is to find a way forward that feels manageable and realistic for everyday life.

If you are thinking about making a change, she encourages small steps and practical experiments alongside the longer, reflective work that therapy can bring.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand closeness, trust and the fears that come up in relationships, which can affect sleep and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the pace a person sets; it is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and find their own solutions. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repetitive patterns and unconscious influences, helping people trace where problems began and how they repeat now.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try ways of working that suit practical needs and emotional aims, and adapt as understanding grows.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking as they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also enable a calm space to reflect after a difficult night or fit a therapy session into a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor sessions so the approach and timing match what you need.
