About Sarah

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor who uses trauma-informed and attachment-aware ways of working. She centres sessions on what matters to each person and helps them find practical steps to feel steadier. Sarah draws on 13 years of professional experience and her BACP registration is shown as BACP.

She focuses on common worries such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, grief, addictions and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Trauma and abuse are listed among her areas of work, alongside sleep and eating difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue. Sarah keeps the room simple and direct. Conversations start with what is happening now and what the person wants to change.

She listens for patterns from early relationships and current routines, and uses that to plan practical, small steps. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past bonds shape current needs. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to cause distress.

Client-centred listening helps people set the pace and feel heard. People meet Sarah by choosing a session type that suits them - video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She explains options and works together with each person to set goals and a clear way forward.

This helps keep progress realistic and manageable.

Approach and online options for trauma-aware care

Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past events still affect daily life and uses careful, structured conversations to reduce distress and build better coping. Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, helping people rewrite unhelpful patterns in current relationships. Client-centred work gives people space to lead sessions and set the pace so they feel heard and supported.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences to choose methods together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for regular check-ins and for people who prefer typing over speaking. These options help make it easier to keep continuity, schedule around work or family and try different ways of working without travel.
