About Sarah

Sarah Showler is a counsellor with NCPS accreditation and eight years of professional experience in the UK. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship difficulties, depression and coping with life changes. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about what feels hard.

Sarah creates a calm space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling without fear of judgement. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to try out small changes that feel manageable. The focus is practical - noticing what matters, testing new ways of responding and reviewing what helps.

Her background includes supporting people with issues around abandonment, attachment and communication. She also works with concerns such as body image, codependency, commitment worries and control issues. Other areas she has supported include eating and dissociative difficulties, aging and geriatric matters, and disruptive mood challenges.

Sessions aim to build clearer thinking about feelings and relationships. Sarah pays attention to how past experiences affect present reactions and helps people develop coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Many clients come wanting to reduce anxiety, feel more confident, or find steadier ways of relating.

Starting therapy can feel difficult and she acknowledges that first step. Sarah guides people through simple early steps so they can set realistic goals and track progress over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach involves identifying automatic thoughts and testing them against everyday experience to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on building practical coping skills and clearer communication to help with relationship strains and self esteem issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences and life situation. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or avoid being on camera if that helps someone focus. Many people find online sessions a practical way to maintain regular contact while working on stress, relationships and coping skills.
