About Sarah
Sarah Howell is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships and sleep difficulties. She presents as calm and direct, and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable. She works in English and operates from the United Kingdom. Sarah holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP.
Sarah draws on solution-focused and client-centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using these approaches to guide sessions. She works with people affected by low mood, trauma including sexual abuse, addiction, grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes could make life easier.
Her style is collaborative. She treats each person as an individual and helps them spot strengths they already have. Conversations focus on practical steps and on clear goals, not only on discussing problems. This can be helpful when someone needs coping strategies for work stress or routines that support better sleep.
Sarah gained five years of experience working for charities and in private practice. That experience has included supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds and ages. Her use of CBT helps with thinking patterns and behaviours, while client-centred elements make space for personal values and choices.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based ideas focus on relationships and how early patterns affect current connections; this helps when relationship issues or intimacy concerns are present. Client-centred work puts the person's perspective at the centre, offering space to be heard and to decide the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems and uses practical exercises and small experiments to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan as things progress, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the original details do not list every option. Online therapy can help fit care around daily life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. It also makes it straightforward to work on homework between meetings and to use exercises that suit the person's routine.
