About Sarah

Sarah Semper is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strains, grief and trauma. Her work includes helping with self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes.

Sarah uses a mix of creative and talking approaches. Her background in arts psychotherapy means she brings art, imagery and expressive techniques into sessions when helpful. She also uses talking therapies and cognitive behavioural therapy, tailoring methods to each person's needs.

Sessions begin with simple, practical goals. She aims to help people find emotional clarity and build stronger self-worth. Conversations are direct and paced to match what each person can manage at the time.

Over the years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, autism and Asperger syndrome related challenges, body image and chronic health issues. She also addresses topics such as codependency, communication and control issues, dissociation and ageing-related worries.

Sarah holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. She works in English and accepts international clients. To start, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and reduce repeated hurts. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions, offering a non-judgemental space where people lead the pace and focus of their work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.

Session format details were 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, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to be on camera for every conversation. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can adapt creative and CBT techniques for remote work so clients keep progress moving even when meeting remotely.

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.
