About Sally

Sally Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on making people feel heard and understood. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach to help with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Sally also offers trauma support and works with people facing grief and issues around gender identity and LGBT matters.

Sally has nine years of practice and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. Her work includes sessions in person in the UK and online with clients abroad.

Background and approach

She keeps her skills current through ongoing professional development. In sessions Sally listens closely and follows the client's lead. She aims to create a steady space where feelings can be explored at a comfortable pace.

Conversations may touch on past experiences, attachment or family of origin problems when these feel relevant. Trauma-focused work is used when people carry harms from the past. This can include support after sexual violence, domestic abuse, dissociation or other traumatic events.

Sally offers practical emotional support and helps people notice patterns such as control issues, guilt, shame or communication problems. She also runs bereavement support and has experience offering bereavement counselling to school students and working with a rape crisis organisation. Clients can expect flexible session formats including video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To start, visitors complete a short questionnaire to be matched and then book sessions that fit their schedule.

How person-centred and trauma-focused work adapts to online therapy

Person-centred therapy is built around listening and responding to what the person brings. The counsellor offers acceptance, empathy and a gentle pace so people can say what matters to them. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, relationship worries and feeling lost or empty.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing experiences that continue to affect daily life. It can involve grounding, talking through difficult memories and learning ways to manage symptoms such as dissociation or strong emotional reactions. This approach is often used for survivors of sexual violence, domestic abuse or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, then agree a plan together. This collaborative planning means the style of sessions can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing and want ongoing, paced support between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats so clients can fit therapy around work, study or life commitments.
