About Sarah
Sarah Guy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes. Sarah believes people know their own stories and brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to help them find a way forward.
She has worked in a range of settings, including a relationship agency, hospice care and a cancer centre, as well as in independent practice.
Background and approach
That variety means she is used to talking about loss, illness, end-of-life issues and the particular strains carers can face. Sarah also supports people dealing with relationship breakdown, blended family issues and communication problems. Her approach is integrative, so she blends techniques to suit each person rather than using a single method for everyone.
Sessions are practical and centred on the client’s goals, with time spent on coping strategies and clearer ways to manage difficult feelings. Sarah aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting. She provides supervision to other counsellors, offering guidance and oversight of their clinical work.
Sarah works online and from her home practice, and sometimes her cockapoo pops up during video sessions. People who want calm, pragmatic support for grief, trauma, long-term illness, isolation or life transitions often find her style helpful. She aims to empower clients to use their existing strengths to cope and move forward.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Many of Sarah’s sessions use evidence-based techniques that help people manage strong feelings and rebuild routines. One approach focuses on coping skills and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding and simple planning tools to use day to day. Another approach addresses grief, trauma and loss by helping people tell their story at a pace that feels manageable and by exploring ways to cope with painful memories and change.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Sarah will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant and useful rather than fixed or one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial expressions and share material, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter updates or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, care routines or periods of ill health while keeping the therapeutic plan focused on progress and practical coping.
