About Sarah

Sarah Cree is a counsellor and registered BACP member practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and identity concerns. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and career-related stress.

She describes an integrative, person-centred style that focuses on what each person brings to the room. Sessions combine talking therapy with practical skills from cognitive behavioural approaches and emotion-regulation tools drawn from dialectical behaviour therapy. Mindfulness and solution-focused elements are used to build short-term coping strategies and longer-term changes.

Sarah has experience supporting neurodivergent people and those affected by adoption, attachment or family-of-origin issues. She also works with people facing menopause transitions, chronic illness, caregiving stress and bereavement. These areas inform how she plans sessions and sets goals with clients.

Her work can include creative techniques such as writing and expressive tasks alongside structured exercises. Clients can expect help with practical problems like sleep disruption and workplace pressure as well as exploration of past trauma and relationship patterns. Sessions aim to combine immediate coping tools with wider reflection.

Sarah offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions run via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and decide on personal goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people dealing with intense emotions, relationship conflict or self-directed anger. These approaches are used alongside mindfulness practices to support clearer thinking and calmer responses.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and selects techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means sessions can emphasise skills practice, reflective conversation or brief goal-focused work depending on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments and let people join from different locations when that helps them manage busy schedules.
