About Sarah

Sarah King, NCPS, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults aged 18 and over and lists relationship problems, family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, stress and anxiety among the concerns she supports. She also helps with grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career worries and coping with life changes.

Sarah practises a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. She aims to listen closely and reflect back what a person is feeling so they can make sense of their situation. Sessions may include reflective exercises and short pieces of psycho-educational information to try between meetings, offered without obligation.

She works inclusively and describes her practice as neurodivergent and gender affirming. Sarah explains that her role is not to give advice or fixed answers, but to work alongside people as they decide what is right for them. That collaborative stance guides how she plans sessions and sets goals.

In practical terms she supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, codependency and commitment concerns, blended family tensions, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also addresses complex feelings such as guilt, shame and emptiness that often come from family of origin problems or domestic violence.

Clients can expect straightforward, plain talk in sessions. The focus is on helping people understand their feelings, their relationships and how past experiences shape present reactions. The aim is clearer thinking and feeling less alone while working through difficult issues.

How her person-centred approach works for online therapy

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person’s own experience. Sessions are built around listening, reflecting feelings and helping clients make sense of their situation. This approach often helps with relationship problems, grief, depression and anxiety by prioritising what the client notices and values.

She may offer brief reflective exercises and psycho-educational information between sessions. These are intended to support learning and self-awareness rather than to act as formal homework. The choice to try these is collaborative and based on what the client finds useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt how sessions run as those factors clarify. That discussion is a shared process so the client can shape what feels most helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work and caring responsibilities. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited and makes it possible to connect with a registered professional even if the client lives far from local services.
