Sarah Leppard is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support. Conversations are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed formula.
She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sarah works with common life stresses such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and career changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and compassion fatigue, as well as issues around eating, sleep and parenting. Additional areas of focus include chronic illness, divorce and blended family challenges. Her style is conversational and client-centred, which means the person in the room leads the pace and topics.
Narrative ideas are used to help people reframe personal stories and spot patterns that cause distress. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences influence present behaviour. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused when that suits the person.
Solution-focused techniques are used to break problems into small, manageable steps and build on what already works. The overall approach is flexible and adjusted to match each person's needs and goals. Sarah accepts international clients and carries out work in English.
Appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their timetable.
How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and priorities. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens closely and reflects what is said to help clarify feelings and goals. This approach helps where someone needs acceptance, understanding and space to find their own solutions.Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves. By separating the person from the problem, it becomes easier to spot repeating patterns and to rewrite unhelpful storylines. This can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and identity questions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each client to agree which methods feel most useful, and she adjusts techniques as needs and goals change. This means therapy is shaped around the person, not the other way round.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for a fuller conversational experience, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel commitments, while keeping continuity when life changes.
