About Sarah

Sarah Cattermole supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship and family strain, trauma and major life changes. She also offers coaching around career questions and coping with transitions. Sarah writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

Sarah works in a warm and friendly way. She focuses on building a trusting relationship first. That relationship shapes the pace and content of sessions.

Background and approach

People can expect an open, non-judgemental space to talk and to try new ways of managing problems. Her practice blends client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred work means conversations are guided by the person’s experience and goals.

Cognitive behavioural techniques help explore patterns of thinking and behaviour and test small changes in everyday life. Sarah trained in psychology, with a 2:1 degree from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University.

She also holds level 4 and level 5 CPCAB counselling qualifications and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by following the site's matching and scheduling steps. She has three years of experience working with people across a range of common mental health and life concerns.

Sarah aims to tailor each plan to the individual. Whether someone needs short-term practical strategies or a longer space to process loss and change, she works with them to decide next steps.

How client-centred work and CBT translate online

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and helping them lead the direction of sessions. Online, this means conversations that follow what matters to the client and a supportive tone that makes it easier to speak openly.

Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions this can mean practising small behavioural experiments between meetings and using straightforward tools to notice and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or adapt methods to match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean using more practical CBT tasks for short-term goals or a gentler, client-led pace for processing loss or trauma.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit quieter audio-only chats, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
