About Sally
Sally Howard is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She listens without judgement and focuses on building a dependable working relationship. Her approach aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for people under pressure.
Sally helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and difficult life changes. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief, fertility concerns, or the effects of serious illness.
Background and approach
Issues such as sleep problems, eating concerns, compulsive behaviours, and addictions are commonly addressed in her work. Her style is based on Client-Centred Therapy, which means conversations are shaped around each person’s priorities and pace. Sessions concentrate on what matters to the individual and aim to clarify choices rather than impose a fixed plan.
Sally adapts her tone and pace to suit how someone prefers to work. Sally places emphasis on respect, sensitivity and compassion in sessions. She works to make people feel heard, and then helps them explore practical steps forward.
This may include short-term coping strategies or longer-term changes depending on the person’s goals. Signing up for therapy is treated as a starting point. Sally tailors dialogue and any follow-up to reflect a client’s unique needs, whether that is coaching through a career change, managing panic attacks, or processing bereavement.

How Sally uses client-centred work online
Sally primarily draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. This approach suits concerns where someone needs space to talk through feelings, like grief, relationship stress, trauma, or low self-esteem. It emphasises the person’s priorities rather than following a fixed checklist.Finding the best way to work together is treated as a collaborative process. Sally will discuss goals, try approaches that match what you prefer, and adjust how sessions run based on your needs. The intention is to tailor sessions around what helps you make progress, whether that is short-term coping or longer-term change.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging makes therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time allow. Phone sessions can be a simpler option for shorter check-ins or when you do not want to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging suits quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or times when writing feels easier. These options increase flexibility and help people access support from different locations and routines.
