About Sarah

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has five years of professional experience offering conversational, practical support. Sarah focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.

She works in a respectful and non-judgemental way. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, so conversations are practical and down to earth. Sarah aims to make it easier to talk about difficult topics like grief, relationship strain and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people with career difficulties, motivation challenges and coping when major changes happen. She also helps with compassion fatigue, chronic illness concerns and parenting pressures. Other areas she addresses include anger, depression, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD related struggles.

Sarah draws on several counselling approaches to guide the work. She uses client-centred ways of listening, narrative techniques to reframe personal stories, psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns, and solution-focused steps to set achievable goals. These methods are blended to suit what each person needs.

People who choose Sarah usually want straightforward conversations, practical tools and emotional understanding. She encourages small, manageable steps and focuses on what can change now. Her aim is to help people feel more able to manage everyday life and move towards clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people feel heard. It supports those who need a calm space to talk through low mood, anxiety or confidence issues and helps build self-trust.

Narrative therapy works by looking at the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate someone from their problem, so issues like trauma, grief or relationship difficulties can be seen in a new light and changed over time.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to repeating patterns and early influences. It can help when a person notices the same difficulties keep happening in relationships or life choices and wants to understand why.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which combination fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

Online counselling offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health needs.
