Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years of client work and an NCPS credential. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and has additional training in counselling children and adolescents. She aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Her work is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on what matters right now and practical ways to change things that feel stuck. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build on what already works for them.

Background and approach

Sarah draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Client-centred work puts the person’s own goals at the heart of each session.

Mindfulness tools are used to slow down racing thoughts and manage stress day to day. She commonly supports people with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, addiction issues, ADHD, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also works with eating and sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, bipolar and coping with life changes.

Additional focus areas include attachment, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged across time zones for international clients. Sarah uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, and sessions are organised via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches and how online therapy fits in

Sarah uses cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred work to help people change what isn’t working and build on their own strengths. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives straightforward strategies to test out new ways of thinking and behaving. Client-centred therapy places the person’s goals at the centre and uses steady, non-judgemental listening to help them find their own answers.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and bring attention back to the present moment. These practices can help with anxiety, sleep problems and overwhelming emotions by training attention and calming the body. Choosing which approach to use is a joint process - the therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to match the person’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through material in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want support between sessions. Together, these formats offer flexibility and practical ways to keep therapy going from different locations and routines.
