About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles uses a client-centred approach to help people who are struggling with sleep, stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and focuses on their strengths. Sarah believes small, steady steps can lead to noticeable change for day-to-day routines and rest.
She has 13 years of experience working with concerns such as relationships, parenting, low self-esteem, depression and addictive behaviours. Sarah also supports people coping with grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that affect sleep, moods and relationships.
In sessions Sarah listens first and asks practical questions about what is happening now. She explores daily patterns, bedtime routines and responses to stress so clients can find manageable changes. Solution-focused tools are used alongside deeper work to produce short-term goals and longer-term insight.
Sarah will pace the work to suit each person. That can mean setting small experiments for sleep, trying new ways to cope with anxious thoughts, or talking through difficult memories. Her style aims to be respectful and straightforward, helping people notice what already helps and what gets in the way.
People who come to Sarah often want clear steps and also time to understand why things keep repeating. She encourages realistic plans for rest and coping, and supports people as they try new approaches.
How therapy approaches translate to online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand repeated reactions in close relationships and can be useful when sleep and rest are affected by relational stress. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions for routines, rest and coping. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviours; this can uncover underlying issues that disturb sleep or contribute to low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which approaches to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as new needs emerge.
Confirm session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel and allowing sessions at times that suit work or family routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations that do not require being on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals aim to tailor practical arrangements so therapy can work around everyday responsibilities.
