Sarah Labbett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with a wide range of concerns including family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and self-esteem. Her approach aims to be respectful and compassionate while keeping conversations focused and practical.

She adapts the way she works to each person. Sessions are shaped around what matters to the client and what feels manageable day to day.

Background and approach

That can mean talking through upsetting memories, learning ways to manage anxious thinking, or setting small goals to improve sleep and routines. Sarah uses a mix of therapies depending on the issue. She draws on client-centred methods to follow the person's lead and build trust.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thought patterns and try out new behaviours. Mindfulness practices are included to help with grounding and reducing reactivity. Where useful, she brings in psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that affect relationships and choices.

Sessions are practical and straightforward. Sarah aims to make tasks clear between meetings and to review progress together. Her work is down-to-earth and paced to suit the person's needs and energy levels.

How Sarah’s approaches work online

Sarah uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and creating a space where someone can speak freely. It is useful when someone needs to feel heard and to build trust before tackling specific problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and repetitive thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist and client review what helps, try methods in session, and adapt the plan based on progress and preferences. This collaborative way means work is shaped around the person's goals and energy levels.

Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is needed. Phone sessions and live chat can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, journalling-style updates and people who prefer written reflection. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to try different formats as needs change.
