About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is an NCPS-registered counsellor with six years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and other common concerns. Sarah also lists support for LGBT issues, relationship and family difficulties, addiction, trauma and grief.
She trained with a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a diploma in counselling children and adolescents. Her work draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon or theory alone.
Sarah often helps people who feel stuck after big life changes. That can mean moving cities, starting a first job, finishing university or coping with relationship breakups. She uses short, goal-focused conversations when helpful, and deeper reflective work when that fits the person’s needs.
In a typical session she listens first, then suggests straightforward tools to try between meetings. Those might include behaviour experiments, setting small goals, or learning simple mindfulness exercises. She explains things in plain language and keeps tasks realistic for busy lives.
Sarah accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s perspective first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of what matters to them. This approach suits issues like relationship doubts, low self-worth and the stress of life transitions.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to test new behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep and tackling unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It often pairs well with CBT techniques for managing stress and intrusive thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will be collaborative and help you choose methods that fit your goals, values and daily routine. That may mean trying brief solution-focused plans first or moving into deeper existential conversations when needed.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around study, work and travel, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and remove travel time so people can use the session hour more efficiently.
