About Sarah

Sarah Dinenage offers practical, down-to-earth counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship and family problems. She makes space for honest conversation and helps people untangle repeating patterns that affect their day-to-day life. Her approach is calm and human, with room for warmth and sometimes humour as clients work through difficult feelings.

Sarah has 12 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom across organisational and independent practice settings.

Background and approach

She uses an attachment-based perspective to look at how early experiences can shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This helps people understand why they might be drawn into the same situations or respond in certain ways. In sessions she listens for both what is said and what is left unsaid, helping clients uncover the feelings and beliefs that keep problems going.

Therapy focuses on building awareness, testing new ways of relating, and reducing the hold of past hurts so daily life becomes easier to manage. Sarah also works with people affected by trauma and abuse, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and difficulties around self-image and guilt or shame.

She supports those dealing with separation, loss, isolation, identity questions and issues linked to military service. Sessions are offered in English and Sarah accepts international clients. She aims to form a genuine, collaborative relationship so people feel heard and can take steady steps towards clearer thinking and more effective living.

Ways of working Sarah names

Attachment-Based Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Attachment work and online therapy options

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds shape feelings and relationships now. It helps people notice repeating patterns, understand why they react as they do, and practise new ways of connecting that reduce distress and improve relationships.

In sessions Sarah listens for both what is said and what is not said, helping clients make sense of underlying emotions and long-held beliefs. This approach can be useful for issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and problems with trust or abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Sarah treats it as a collaborative process. She will discuss clients' needs, goals and preferences and together decide how best to proceed, adjusting pace and focus as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers flexible choices: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or comfort make audio easier, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and make it easier to keep momentum when life is busy.
