About Sarah

Sarah Henderson is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She uses a practical, down-to-earth style to help people who are struggling with sleep, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Sarah's name and NCPS credential appear up front so people know who they are reading about.

Sarah tailors conversations to the person in front of her. She listens without judgement and helps people set simple, realistic goals. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy alongside a client-centred way of working to look at thoughts, routines and habits that affect mood and rest.

She has four years of professional experience and practised in UK settings before offering sessions online. That experience includes supporting people with relationship worries, grief and trauma, and concerns linked to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria issues. She also helps with addictions, anger, parenting strain and long-term health problems where these affect everyday functioning.

Practical steps are a regular part of sessions. Sarah often works on sleep-friendly routines, coping strategies for anxiety, and ways to rebuild confidence. Conversations can cover communication problems, attachment or abandonment worries, and work-related stress that spills into home life.

She encourages small, achievable changes and checks progress with each person. The aim is to build tools that fit day-to-day life and to support people while they test new ways of coping and resting.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It creates space for honest talk and emphasises the person's own goals and choices, which can help when sleep or rest is being affected by stress or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviours and feelings. It often includes practical exercises such as sleep routines, thought records or activity scheduling to reduce anxiety and improve rest patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss options with each person and shape sessions around their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific formats are not detailed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady practice of coping strategies and sleep routines between meetings, helping new habits settle into daily life.
