About Sarah
Sarah Semper is a counsellor with 14 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and big life changes. She helps those facing relationship and intimacy worries, struggles with self‑esteem, parenting pressures, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sarah uses straightforward, practical ways to help people feel steadier and more confident in day‑to‑day life.
She works in a gentle, person‑centred way that invites people to set the pace.
Background and approach
Sessions often begin by focusing on what feels most urgent, then move on to small, achievable steps. Sarah blends talking therapies with creative methods such as art, imagery and other expressive techniques when that suits a person’s needs. Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape present worries.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and to test new ways of thinking and acting. Existential themes are explored when people want to examine meaning, values and life choices.
Sarah has experience supporting a wide range of concerns beyond the common ones, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment and dissociation, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also works with LGBT concerns, ageing and geriatric issues, autism and neurodiversity related matters, and alternative sexual cultures such as kink and BDSM.
Sessions are offered in English and Sarah sees people from the United Kingdom and internationally. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and integrates practical tools with reflective work to help people build clearer ways forward.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions use conversations and reflective exercises to spot these patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions; in online sessions this can involve simple worksheets, behavioural experiments and step‑by‑step plans to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Sarah will talk about what feels most useful, try methods for a while, and adjust the plan based on what helps a person meet their goals. That collaborative way helps people feel involved in shaping their care.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and shared visual tools. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need frequent brief contact, or want time to think before they respond. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
