About Sarah

Sarah Dinenage is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict and trauma. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

With 12 years of experience, Sarah focuses on how early life experiences shape current relationships and patterns.

Background and approach

She uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand why they repeat habits that cause pain. The work looks at how people relate to themselves and others, and what keeps problems going. In sessions she listens for what is said and what is left out.

Conversations aim to help people see their situation more clearly and make sense of difficult feelings. Sarah keeps a warm, down-to-earth style and believes a sense of humour can be helpful, even when discussing painful topics. Therapy with Sarah involves exploring experiences at a deeper level to uncover the drivers behind emotions and behaviours.

The goal is to reduce the daily impact of past events so someone can function better and feel more in control. Progress is steady and rooted in understanding rather than quick fixes. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to availability.

Ways of working Sarah names

Attachment-Based Therapy

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

Attachment-informed care delivered online

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shaped the way someone connects now. It helps people understand patterns in relationships, attachment styles, and why they may repeat the same painful dynamics.

Sarah also uses psychodynamic ideas that focus on what lies beneath current feelings and behaviours. This approach helps uncover recurring themes and unseen influences from earlier life that affect everyday choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah works with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what is helping, what feels uncomfortable, and adjust the focus as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that is helpful, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or travel.
