Sarah Thompson, BACP

Sarah Thompson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and supports those dealing with grief, addiction and issues around intimacy. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk through painful memories, difficult decisions and everyday pressures. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, with practical steps to build confidence, motivation and coping skills. Sarah aims to keep things clear and manageable so busy people can fit therapeutic work into real life.

Sarah draws on several well known methods, including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. She uses these tools to spot unhelpful patterns, try new ways of thinking and build steady emotional regulation. She also brings experience with relationship work and emotionally focused methods when conversations centre on connection and communication.

Over nearly two decades she has supported people coping with trauma, abuse, caregiver stress and long-term health challenges, among other concerns. Her clients often want help with communication, boundary setting and dealing with feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Sarah works collaboratively to set clear goals and practical next steps.

Approaches you might meet in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and encourages self-directed change by building on their strengths and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and simple reframes to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful habits.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when attachment and connection cause pain. It is useful for conversations about intimacy, communication and repairing emotional distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods together. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and adjusted to fit the person’s life.

Please confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and for shorter check-ins when time is tight. Registered or accredited professionals can also use online meetings to share worksheets, practice mindfulness exercises together, and set homework that fits everyday routines.
