About Sarah

Sarah Beardsley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She also helps with self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, eating and parenting challenges, and issues connected to LGBT identity and gender dysphoria. Sarah brings five years of professional experience and works in English.

She uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions focus on the person's own goals and experience. Sarah aims to listen without judgement and adapt each session to what the person needs that day.

Background and approach

People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings and life changes. Sarah has worked with people affected by ADHD, autism and specific learning differences such as dyslexia and dyspraxia. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, abandonment and attachment difficulties.

Practical concerns like career changes, communication problems and decisions around divorce or separation are within her remit. Her practice includes helping people with eating and body-image issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and the emotional fallout from loss. Sarah describes helping clients to explore what matters to them and to build ways of managing day-to-day life that feel sustainable.

Sessions are tailored to each person and can focus on short-term coping or longer-term personal work. Sarah aims to empower people to make changes at their own pace and to find clearer direction amid uncertainty.

Ways of working Sarah names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

How client-centred approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people coping with anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, trauma and identity questions because it keeps the session grounded in what matters to the individual.

Sarah will work with each person to decide how best to use online sessions. She treats finding the right way of working as a collaborative process and will check in about goals, methods and pacing as therapy progresses. Together they can adjust focus and format to match changing needs.

Online therapy offers a range of practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging gives flexibility for people who prefer writing or need to fit sessions around work or caregiving. These choices help make counselling more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
