Sarah Marlow-Rawles

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor who works from a person-centred stance and draws on psychodynamic and attachment ideas to help people understand themselves better. She uses straightforward language and invites people to talk about what is causing them pain. Sarah believes clients are the experts on their lives and aims to support them as they make changes.

She has 13 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and issues around parenting. She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, and life transitions.

Sarah pays attention to how early relationships shape patterns in adult life. That background helps when someone struggles with attachment, abandonment, codependency or commitment issues. She also offers a trauma-focused approach when past events continue to affect day-to-day functioning.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to reflect what she hears back in clear terms. Sessions can include talking about memories, current relationships, and practical steps to manage stress and mood. She will work collaboratively to set goals and try small changes between meetings.

Sarah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. People interested in starting are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to proceed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sarah uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic listening to shape online therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps when someone struggles with closeness, abandonment fears or commitment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and the client's own resources, helping people build confidence and make small changes. Psychodynamic listening examines recurring themes from a person’s past that repeat in present relationships, which can be useful for understanding long-standing patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods together. The process is collaborative and intended to find what feels most helpful for the individual.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow a mix of shorter check-ins or fuller sessions depending on what someone needs. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments during busy periods, while the therapist and client agree together how best to structure meetings.
