About Sarah

Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years' experience who trained after personal life events inspired her to support others. She holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Therapeutic Counselling and a diploma in counselling children and adolescents. Sarah offers a calm, non-judgemental presence to help people find their next steps.

Her style is warm and practical. She listens first and helps people make sense of what is happening in their lives. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes rather than long lectures. Sarah aims to help people build confidence and cope better day to day.

Sarah works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and bipolar-related challenges. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Her approach draws on several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and establish new habits. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the pace guided by each person’s needs. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to slow down racing thoughts and reduce reactivity.

Talk-based approaches and how they fit online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on being heard. It gives people time to tell their story and sets the pace around their comfort. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Existential Therapy helps people think about meaning, values and life choices when facing major transitions or loss.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful, try methods out, and adapt techniques to meet specific goals. Clients and the therapist decide together which mix of approaches helps most for the concerns they bring.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when weeks are busy. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy when circumstances change, while the therapist helps structure sessions and home practice to suit everyday routines.
