About Sarah
Sarah Porritt is a counselling therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has around 10 years' experience. She works with adults and young people on common issues such as anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship difficulties. Her profile highlights support for self-esteem, life transitions, loss and uncertainty.
Sarah uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques in sessions. She often draws on cognitive approaches, person-centred methods and mindfulness to help people notice thought patterns, find practical coping steps and build steadier routines. Sessions are conversational and focused on what helps in day-to-day life.
People see her for a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and mood. She lists family and parenting matters, grief, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image struggles, chronic illness and caregiver stress, communication problems and issues around control. She also works with worries about life purpose, isolation, impulsivity and related challenges.
Her decade of practice has included work with adults, young people and family-related themes while following the BACP's ethical framework. Sarah aims to listen carefully, help clients make sense of their current difficulties and suggest practical strategies that can be used between sessions. Sessions tend to focus on small, achievable steps alongside noticing patterns that keep problems active.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sarah commonly uses cognitive techniques that help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts. This approach is practical and usually focuses on small changes in thinking and behaviour that reduce anxiety and low mood.She also works with person-centred methods which put the client's own experience at the centre of sessions. That approach aims to clarify values and priorities, and to support people in making decisions about relationships, work and life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about which techniques fit their needs and goals, and adapt the way sessions run based on what feels useful. The choice is collaborative and can change over time as issues evolve.
