About Sarah

Sarah Cree is a counsellor with six years in independent practice and a long history supporting neurodivergent people. She offers a calm, compassionate space where people can feel heard and understood. Sarah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings both practical skills and a gentle presence to sessions.

She blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioural work is used to map patterns and try new coping steps. Dialectical behaviour tools and mindfulness practices help with emotional regulation and stress. Sessions can also include expressive elements such as writing or sandtray when that fits the person’s way of processing.

Sarah has particular experience helping people with ADHD and autism, and with sleep problems linked to trauma or neurodivergence. She also supports people facing grief, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction-related concerns, and identity exploration. Work often focuses on finding small, practical changes that make day-to-day life easier.

As a qualified mindfulness coach she offers guided practices for burnout recovery and resilience building. Her style is person-centred and trauma-informed, so the work moves at a pace the client can manage. People who want straightforward strategies alongside reflective work may find this a good fit.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, empathy and creating a space where people feel understood; online sessions can support this through steady, focused conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, and it often involves clear exercises and homework that suit remote sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, and many of those skills can be practised and reviewed in online meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods to use, based on their problems, goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed as the work progresses so the approach can change if needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work between sessions through written exercises, guided mindfulness practices and mutually agreed action plans.
