About Sarah
Sarah Semper is a counsellor with 14 years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, grief, trauma and issues around self-esteem. Sarah uses clear, practical methods so people can feel steadier day to day.
She offers a calm, conversational style and adapts sessions to each person. That can mean talking things through, trying simple mindfulness exercises, or using creative techniques such as imagery and art when words are hard to find.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, practical steps as well as understanding patterns that cause pain. Sarah trained and works in ways influenced by attachment thinking and cognitive behavioural ideas. She draws on client-centred and existential perspectives too, which helps her work with questions about identity, meaning, and close relationships.
This mix lets her balance problem-solving with deeper reflection. Her background includes arts psychotherapy approaches, so creative tools may appear alongside talking therapy and CBT-style tasks. People who find standard talk therapy limiting often respond well to this blend of methods.
Sarah aims to help people notice what is holding them back and try alternatives that feel manageable. Sarah practises in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and can work with people living outside the UK by online formats.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses, and it can be useful for worries about closeness, trust and attachment patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping someone find their own solutions, which often feels supportive when someone needs space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time if something does not fit.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a quieter option with less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These formats give flexibility for different schedules, travel constraints and energy levels while keeping the focus on clear, practical therapeutic work.
