About Sarah

Sarah Stewart offers warm, person-centred counselling that aims to help people feel heard and respected. She meets clients online and creates a calm space where someone can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, or changes that feel overwhelming. Sarah uses straightforward, collaborative work.

She listens first and then helps the person find their own answers. Sessions focus on making sense of difficult experiences, spotting patterns that cause pain, and trying practical ways to feel more settled day to day.

Background and approach

Her background is in psychology and psychotherapy and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That training helps her combine talking, gentle education about how thoughts and bodies react, and attention to how different parts of the self relate to one another.

Therapy with Sarah often looks at attachment and family of origin issues, self‑esteem, eating and body image concerns, and the effects of shame, guilt or abandonment. She also supports people exploring kink, BDSM and alternative sexual cultures without judgement. Sessions can include practical tools from cognitive approaches, mindfulness and somatic work to help with overwhelming feelings or dissociation.

Sarah adapts her style to what each person needs and checks in regularly to make sure the pace feels right. People who choose her work together to build clearer communication, reduce anxiety or anger, and develop more compassionate ways of being with themselves and others.

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

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and then choose values‑based actions despite them. It is useful for anxiety, depression and problems where avoidance keeps someone stuck. Client‑centred therapy focuses on an accepting, non‑judgemental relationship where the person leads the work; it supports people who need a steady, validating space to make sense of their experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, offers practical ways to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes that reduce distress and improve routine.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Sarah discusses goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then uses elements from these approaches to suit each session. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches the person's needs rather than forcing one method.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging to provide options that fit everyday life. Video lets people connect face to face; phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text sessions can be shorter or work better for people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats offer more flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and other commitments while still allowing meaningful therapeutic progress.
