About Sarah

Sarah King is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, depression, anxiety and grief. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about. Sarah is NCPS credentialed and practises with adults aged 18 and over.

She uses a person-centred style that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. That means the conversation follows what matters to the individual, while Sarah offers reflection and gentle prompts to deepen understanding. She may suggest simple reflective exercises and short psycho-educational notes to try between sessions, but these are optional.

Sarah has five years' experience supporting people through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, domestic violence and family-of-origin difficulties. She also works with people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, intimacy worries, guilt and shame. Her background includes work with survivors of abuse and those coping with suicidal thinking and bereavement.

Sessions are conducted in English and Sarah accepts international clients. The counselling approach aims to help people feel heard and understood, and to increase self-awareness and clarity about next steps in life. Clients remain in control of pace and direction throughout the work.

Practical tasks and insights are used where helpful, but the emphasis is always on the client's own experience. Sarah's role is to walk alongside people while they make sense of what is happening and decide what matters most to them.

Person-centred care online and what it looks like

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's own experience. The counsellor reflects back what is said, helps people name feelings and notices patterns in relationships and behaviour. This approach is often helpful for issues like intimacy worries, attachment concerns, low mood and stress because it centres the client's perspective.

Working online does not change the basic approach. The therapist and client work together to decide how sessions unfold, what to try between meetings, and what pace feels right. Finding the best method is collaborative, and adjustments are made based on the person's needs and goals.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reducing travel time and allowing short check-ins during a lunch break or longer weekly sessions from elsewhere. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a simpler audio-only conversation. Registered or accredited professionals aim to choose formats that suit each person's practical needs and therapeutic aims.
