Sarah Witt is a BACP counsellor who combines different approaches to match each person’s needs. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can begin to feel heard. Sarah focuses on helping people build coping skills and uncover their own strengths through steady, respectful dialogue.

Sarah’s practice draws mainly on client-centred work, so she follows the person rather than imposing a rigid plan. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns that may come from earlier experiences.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when it helps to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. Sarah listens, reflects, and offers practical strategies that can be tried between meetings.

She pays attention to relationship issues, stress, anxiety, grief and problems around identity and intimacy. Her background supports people dealing with life changes, parenting pressures, career concerns, addictions, and challenges linked to body image and eating. She also works with issues such as attachment, abandonment and the impact of family breakdown.

Sarah has four years of professional practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She holds sessions in English and accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. The counsellor listens closely and follows the issues you bring, offering empathy and reflection to help you find your own answers. This approach is useful for stress, relationship concerns and struggles with self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. This can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping strategies.

Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns that may start early in life and repeat in adult relationships. Talking these through can increase self-awareness and reveal why certain issues keep coming up.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as your needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how you take part. Video calls work well for a full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions may fit a short break in a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer written check-ins or need shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family and travel.
