About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has around 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, substance and eating-related issues, and feelings of emptiness.
She uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical skills and attachment-focused work. Sessions are practical and talk-based. She helps people notice thought and behaviour patterns and try different ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Sarah previously worked alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists in an NHS clinical setting and has experience in workplace and private contexts. Her background includes study in counselling psychology and occupational psychology, and further training in CBT, REBT, DBT, compassion-focused and schema-related methods.
In a typical session she will listen, reflect what matters to the person and introduce straightforward tools where useful. That might mean learning grounding or distress-tolerance skills, testing unhelpful beliefs, or looking at attachment patterns that affect current relationships. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and steadier behaviour rather than quick fixes.
People who contact her often want help managing day-to-day pressure, improving relationship patterns, or working through past hurt so it interferes less with present life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, then choosing actions that fit personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and a sense of emptiness by encouraging small committed changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and communication. It is useful for people struggling with abandonment, commitment or repetitive relationship patterns.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will help clients decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel, reduce time spent on commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try techniques in the environments where problems occur and bring examples straight into the conversation. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to increase access and fit therapy into everyday life.
