About Sarah

Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years of practice experience. She holds an NCPS credential and works from a practical, down-to-earth approach. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low self esteem find clearer ways forward.

She commonly supports people coping with depression, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, intimacy questions, parenting stress and career-related worry. Sarah works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, and complex situations like codependency and attachment struggles.

Her way of working is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now, using clear tools and calm reflection rather than jargon. Clients can expect to talk about practical steps, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and build small routines or experiments to test changes.

Sarah uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. She also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas to help people find meaning and set manageable goals. This mix is used to match the session to the person rather than follow a rigid plan.

The initial steps are straightforward - a short connection to see what matters most, then agreed goals and ways to check progress. Sarah encourages people to take things at their own pace while working toward clearer daily routines and more reliable coping skills.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person brings, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, low mood and habit change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah will work with each person to decide which mix of listening, practical CBT tasks or mindfulness fits their needs and goals. This is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or quieter sessions when that helps, and lets people use practical tools and guided exercises between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt methods to suit the online setting so sessions remain focused on day-to-day change and measurable steps.

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.
