Sarah Greenwood brings 17 years of practical experience to her counselling work. She is a BACP member and offers a calm, approachable presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. Sarah writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.
Sarah describes herself as empathic and non-judgemental. She draws on a mix of therapeutic ways of working to help people find clearer thinking and calmer feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life rather than big, sudden changes. Her background includes counselling in both personal and public settings over nearly two decades. She maintains regular supervision and ongoing professional development, and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.
Sarah is also DBS enhanced checked. Typical issues she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem. She also helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, and workplace or career stress.
Clinically she uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, emotionally focused methods and person-centred listening. In sessions she balances practical techniques with space to talk and reflect. Sarah offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Sessions are arranged via a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It supports setting values-based goals and taking small actions towards what matters, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours. It often uses clear tasks and short experiments that translate well to online sessions and can help with panic, worry, sleeping problems and low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions to improve how they relate to themselves and others. This approach can be useful for managing grief, attachment wounds and intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working. Together they choose or blend methods so the sessions feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat is good for shorter check-ins; and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
