About Sarah

Sarah Guy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She has completed training recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is also listed with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.

She has logged over 4,500 client hours and works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and life changes. She aims to help people build on their own strengths while they work through difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions are warm and down to earth, and she describes her role as supportive and empowering rather than directive. Sarah encourages clients to take small steps toward changes that matter to them. Her background includes time in hospice care, a cancer centre and work with a relationship agency, along with independent practice.

She also provides clinical supervision to other counsellors, offering oversight and reflective support for their work. Sarah uses an integrative approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person. She adapts the way she works to fit individual needs and preferences.

Her style is practical and empathetic, and she sometimes works from home with her cockapoo joining brief video sessions. People come to her for help with many issues beyond the main specialties, including attachment concerns, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt, loneliness and end-of-life matters.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Sarah lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Sarah uses an integrative, evidence-informed way of working, bringing together techniques that match a person’s needs. One common strand focuses on trauma-aware care, which helps people understand how distressing events affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour and then learn ways to manage upsetting memories and reactions. Another strand targets grief and loss, offering practical support to make space for emotions and to find ways to continue day-to-day life while grieving. These approaches are aimed at reducing distress and improving coping rather than promising a specific outcome.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, try options that fit the person’s goals and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. People are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments and help people access therapy across the United Kingdom.
