About Sarah

Sarah Stewart uses a person-centred, experiential approach to help people feel heard and respected. She names simple goals with clients and works alongside them rather than giving instructions. Sarah draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to what a person needs in the moment.

She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, noticing patterns and making small changes that feel manageable.

Background and approach

Sarah often brings in clear explanations from psychology when that helps make sense of things. Work with her can include exploring difficult memories, understanding how the body responds to stress, and mapping the different parts of the self that can feel at odds. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression and stress as well as relationship and family issues.

Other common concerns she helps with include trauma and abuse, eating or body image struggles, self-esteem and anger. Sarah also supports people facing identity related issues including LGBT concerns, and works with issues such as abandonment, attachment and codependency. She uses practical approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside somatic work and Internal Family Systems ideas when helpful.

Sarah has four years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration with therapeutic training in psychology and psychotherapy. Sessions are held online using video, phone or live messaging formats to suit individual needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Sarah's approaches translate to online therapy

Sarah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and helping people act in line with their values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Client-centred work emphasises a warm, accepting relationship and helps people feel understood before making changes; it suits people who need space to explore feelings at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and Sarah treats it as a collaboration. She will check in about what feels helpful and adapt methods to fit each person's goals and preferences. That way the work changes over time if needed and stays relevant to the issues being discussed.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a full face-to-face style session, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live messaging or text can be a shorter check-in or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while working with a registered professional.
