About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor who draws on relational and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of difficult patterns. With 13 years of practice, she focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to build stronger self‑esteem. She works in English and sees people in the United Kingdom.
Sarah aims to create a calm space where a person’s experience is listened to without judgement. She starts by asking what matters most now and by finding small, manageable steps forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are grounded and straightforward rather than full of clinical jargon. Her background includes work with people dealing with relationship strains, parenting pressures and grief. She also supports those facing issues such as addiction, trauma and sleep or eating difficulties.
Sarah pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns can shape current choices and feelings. She combines client‑centred listening with psychodynamic reflection and practical, solution‑focused ideas. That mix helps people notice repeating patterns and try different ways of relating.
When trauma is involved she brings trauma‑focused methods into sessions in a paced way. People come to Sarah wanting help with big life changes, career doubts, anger or compassion fatigue. She aims to empower each person to use their own strengths and to build lasting coping skills.
The work is collaborative and paced to what the individual can manage.

How attachment and psychodynamic ideas fit with online therapy
Sarah uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and choices. This approach helps when people notice repeating problems in close relationships or struggle with trust and intimacy. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to help people link present difficulties to past experiences and to bring greater self-understanding into everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit. That conversation is collaborative so methods can change as the work develops and as people notice what helps them most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone work can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging let people keep a connection between appointments and have shorter, written check-ins when that fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family, work and daily life while still getting steady therapeutic support.
