About Sarah

Sarah Lambert MA, MBACP offers a warm, person-centred way of working. She uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle difficult feelings and figure out what matters to them. Sarah writes in a calm, non-judgemental style and aims to make sessions feel manageable and clear. Sarah holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Counselling and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' practical experience supporting people through issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns including jealousy. In sessions Sarah draws on client-centred approaches that prioritise the person's perspective and pace. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people spot small, practical steps that make everyday life easier. Conversations are guided by what the client brings, with attention to strengths and coping strategies. Sarah is experienced in working with a wide range of related issues, including attachment and abandonment worries, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and communication or control problems. She is mindful of how past losses or trauma can shape current relationships and emotions. Her style is direct but compassionate. She encourages people to name difficult feelings and to try simple experiments between sessions. The aim is to help clients feel more in control and less overwhelmed as they move forward. If someone is unsure where to begin, Sarah suggests a short initial conversation to discuss goals and fit before booking further sessions.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what is said so people feel understood and accepted. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through painful feelings or to make sense of confusing situations.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. It helps people set clear goals and try out simple experiments between sessions, which can be useful for issues like stress, relationship concerns or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to what the person wants to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use solution-focused tasks between meetings and to maintain momentum while working on longer-term, client-centred exploration.
