About Sarah

Sarah Lacey is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience working in the United Kingdom. She practises from a person-centred standpoint and combines practical talking therapy with clear strategies. Sarah focuses on common, everyday problems such as anxiety, low mood, stress and grief in a direct and compassionate way.

She believes people know their own story and brings curious listening to help them find strengths they may not see.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps that make life feel more manageable. Sarah uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside a client-centred style. Her background includes long experience supporting people through work-related stress, adjustment after change, compassion fatigue and relationship worries.

She also offers short-term coaching-style work for people with clear, time-limited goals. Practical techniques and homework are used when they suit the person. Appointments are offered during weekday daytime hours.

Sarah asks people to be on time so sessions can be productive, and she allows a short grace period for late arrivals. She works in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom. Beginning therapy is treated as a collaborative process.

Sarah helps clients set achievable goals and checks progress regularly so sessions keep working for the person.

How Sarah’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where avoidance has become a problem.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful, non-judgemental listening. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their experience and find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often chosen for stress, anxiety and mood concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most helpful and shape sessions around their goals and preferences. It is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Sarah is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for longer conversations and face-to-face feeling, phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or written reflection. These options add flexibility to fit therapy around everyday life and make it easier to attend sessions from different locations.
