Online support
How Sarah’s approaches work online
Sarah draws on Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, values and choice when life feels uncertain. This can be useful for work on grief, major life changes and feelings of disconnection.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying what matters, and taking committed steps towards those values. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression and patterns of avoidance.
Attachment-Based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand current difficulties. This perspective can help with intimacy issues, caretaking stress and communication problems.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Sarah will discuss different ways of working and agree what fits the person's goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face focus while phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit sessions around work, caring duties and daily life.
