About Sarah

Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years' experience who helps people facing anxiety, depression and other difficult feelings. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and invites people to talk about what is getting in the way of daily life. Sarah holds BACP accreditation, which she mentions as part of her professional background.

Sarah aims to make the first steps into therapy easier. She offers a calm space to look at stress, low self-esteem, panic and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, addictions, and challenges around identity and intimacy.

Her approach blends person-centred practice with cognitive behavioural ideas. That means conversations focus on understanding your experience and trying small practical changes between sessions. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to help with connection and relationship concerns.

Sarah has worked across public and private settings over many years. She keeps up regular supervision and takes part in continuing professional development. Her practice includes supporting parents, people living with long-term health issues, and those with complex needs such as ADHD or co-morbidity.

In sessions she aims to be straightforward and compassionate. People can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical steps alongside space to talk about painful memories and current worries.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, which can help with intimacy and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs become clearer.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or health needs and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort make that preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT worksheets, ACT exercises or attachment-focused conversations to an online setting to keep therapy practical and focused.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
