About Sally

Sally Turley is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem and motivation. She works with people facing relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD and the pressures that come with major life changes.

Sally favours clear, practical conversations. She uses a mix of approaches to help people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that can reduce overwhelm and build confidence.

Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s experience central, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change. She also uses psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at deeper patterns where helpful.

Sally has guided people through grief, addiction recovery steps, career uncertainty and parenting stresses. She also supports those dealing with body image, codependency, caregiver strain, abandonment and attachment issues. Her practice includes attention to anger, intimacy-related concerns and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are carried out in English and follow a straightforward process to get started. Costs vary with location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session using the site’s scheduling tools.

Approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on building a respectful, non-directive conversation. It helps when someone needs a place to talk through feelings and decide what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and often used for anxiety, low mood, behaviour patterns and coping with change.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversational method to help people who feel stuck find reasons and small steps for change. It can support work around addiction, motivation and readiness to act.

Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might help. Decisions are made together so sessions stay relevant to what the client wants to address.

Confirm current session delivery options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or daily routines. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, not needing travel, or quieter times that suit the client’s schedule.
