About Sarah

Sarah Trent is a counsellor with a BACP registration and six years' experience. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or the impact of past abuse. Her approach is warm and respectful and aimed at helping people make manageable changes.

She uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual. Conversations are guided by the client's pace and priorities, with the counsellor offering grounding and encouragement.

Background and approach

This helps people explore relationship worries, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Her background includes a BA (Hons) in counselling and psychotherapy from the University of Warwick. She also draws on experience as a health and wellbeing coach to support motivation and practical steps between sessions.

That mix helps turn insight into small, realistic actions. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused when helpful. People can expect to talk through what's causing distress, try new ways of coping, and check what is working.

The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Sarah works with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She offers sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom.

If someone prefers a supportive, person-centred counsellor who also brings coaching experience, she may be a good fit.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Person-centred counselling places the client's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps the client find their own solutions; this approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and issues with self-worth.

Health and wellbeing coaching focuses on setting small, achievable goals and building motivation. It supports practical changes between sessions such as sleep, routine and coping strategies that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers options that fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are convenient when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, journalling between sessions or for people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving or travel while still getting consistent therapeutic support.
