Sarah Charney, NCPS

Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist with a decade of experience helping people make sense of difficult feelings. She works in a calm, straightforward way and aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk and reflect. Her credential is NCPS, which stands for the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Sarah uses practical therapy methods that focus on everyday problems. She often looks at thoughts and behaviours that were learned early in life and that now cause anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She also helps people affected by trauma, addiction, body image concerns and stress related to caregiving or work. Her background includes work in an NHS clinical setting alongside multidisciplinary teams. That experience informs how she combines different techniques in the room. She has two master’s degrees, including a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology, and further training in cognitive and behavioural approaches. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning manageable ways to respond to difficult emotions. Practical tools can include thought work, mindfulness exercises and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches. The aim is to reduce distress and build more helpful ways of coping. People who come to Sarah often want clear, practical steps alongside time to be heard. She supports clients through relationship worries, jealousy, abandonment fears, dissociation, and problems with communication or commitment. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values. It helps people move toward what matters, even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current expectations and behaviour, which can help with abandonment fears and communication problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your needs and goals and together you will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as new issues come up or as you notice what helps. Please confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and thought work from home when they are able to focus, or choose phone-based conversations when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises so they are practical and usable between sessions.
