Sarah Marlow-Rawles, BACP

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor with a BACP registration and 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and problems around parenting. She encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to take practical steps towards change.

In sessions she listens for how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. She uses an attachment-based lens to help people understand patterns in close relationships. She also draws on client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and pace.

Sarah often brings psychodynamic ideas into conversations to identify repeated themes that feel stuck or painful. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term, goal-orientated work to tackle specific problems. Trauma-focused approaches are available when early wounds or recent traumatic events are part of the story.

She supports people coping with grief, intimacy concerns, addiction, eating or sleeping difficulties, and the emotional strain of long-term illness or caregiving. Additional areas include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and challenges that follow divorce or separation.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Sarah helps people set realistic steps, try them between sessions and review what works. The tone is collaborative and grounded in the client’s own experience.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and close relationships shape trust and closeness. In practice this means talking about patterns that repeat in current relationships and trying small changes to different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows the client's lead, listens carefully and helps people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that might help. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also allow sessions to continue when circumstances make face-to-face meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to remote conversations so the focus remains on practical steps and understanding relationship patterns.
