About Sarah

Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years' experience helping people who are struggling with everyday pressures and deeper life changes. She holds an NCPS credential and trained with a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling, and she draws on those foundations when meeting new clients. Sarah is warm and non-judgemental in sessions and aims to make people feel heard from the first meeting.

Sarah supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and sleeping difficulties. She also works with those facing grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and career or life changes. Additional focuses include body image, attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity related matters, and chronic illness or caregiver stress.

Her practical style blends client-centred listening with evidence-informed tools. That means sessions often start with what matters most to the person and then try small, manageable steps to ease symptoms and build skills. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness are commonly used alongside solution-focused ideas and existential conversations about meaning and values.

Sarah accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location and therapist availability. Before booking, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's timetable.

She aims to help people regain a sense of control and rest when life feels overwhelming. Sarah encourages steady progress at a pace the client chooses and focuses on tangible changes that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist creates a supportive space and follows the person's lead to uncover what matters and where change might start. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses clear, practical exercises to reduce distress and improve sleep or mood. Existential Therapy helps people think about values, purpose and the choices they face when life feels uncertain or stuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as things progress. The aim is to match techniques to daily life and to priorities such as better sleep or managing anxiety.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and support shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to use mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets and practical goal-setting from home or during a break at work, helping skills transfer into everyday routines.
