About Sarah

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, motivation, grief, career worries and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Sarah uses a straightforward and conversational style in sessions. She listens to what matters to the person in front of her and focuses on practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. People can expect plain talking about what is causing stress and anxiety, with room to name difficult feelings like shame, guilt or emptiness.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns, from addiction and trauma to parenting strain and chronic illness. She draws on Client-Centred, Narrative, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches to shape conversations. That means some sessions focus on understanding personal stories, while others look for concrete actions to move forward.

Sarah often helps people who are wrestling with major transitions - starting a job, leaving education, relationship change or facing illness in the family. She will talk through patterns that keep coming up and try short, practical steps when they suit the person.

Practical matters are kept simple: subscription-based sessions that vary with location and can be cancelled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment using the See online therapy options button.

How Sarah’s approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and feel understood without pressure to perform. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape choices. It can help with issues like identity, shame, or feeling stuck by offering new ways to describe problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods based on the client's aims and preferences. That means sessions can move between exploring personal history and trying small, practical changes depending on what feels useful.

Practical benefits of online work centre on fitting therapy into daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to attend around studies, work or caregiving, and reduce travel time. If you need clarification about which session formats are offered, confirm the options before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pace and focus to match short check-ins or longer conversations, helping therapy fit into an often busy routine.
