About Sarah

Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years' experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unable to enjoy life. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship worries. Sessions aim to help people find practical ways to move forward at a pace that suits them.

Sarah draws on several approaches and adapts them to each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

Client-centred work means sessions are shaped around what matters most to the person. Attachment-focused ideas help when relationship or intimacy issues are a core concern. Her practice covers a wide range of difficulties including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting pressures, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and bipolar-related challenges.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving strain and chronic illness. This list reflects areas she commonly addresses in sessions. Sarah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she follows its ethical framework.

She has worked in both personal and public settings and takes part in ongoing professional development and supervision. People meet Sarah for one-to-one work that focuses on clarifying goals, learning coping skills and testing new ways of relating. Her manner is warm and practical, aiming to help people build small changes that add up over time.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sarah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred approaches in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can explore sensitive topics at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. Adjustments can be made over time if something is not helping or a different focus is needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging or live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping progress focused on practical change.
