About Sarah

Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years' experience helping people through difficult life moments. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and the NCPS credential. She offers calm, non-judgemental support and listens closely to what each person needs.

Sarah works in a straightforward way. She talks things through with people and helps them find small, practical steps that fit their life. Sessions focus on what matters now - managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, grief, or difficult relationships. Men’s wellbeing is one of the areas she lists as a focus.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns, from mood difficulties and trauma to eating and sleeping problems. She has experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and issues around intimacy and body image. That breadth means she can draw on different strategies as needed.

In sessions she draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. She also uses solution-focused and existential approaches when they suit the person. The aim is to build coping skills and clearer perspective, not to rush change.

Sarah encourages clients to set the pace. She works collaboratively and respects individual preferences. People who are looking for practical tools and steady support often find this approach helpful.

How these approaches work online and in practice

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps people feel heard, which supports clearer thinking and better choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences and test methods that feel useful. This is a collaborative process, and methods can be adjusted if something isn’t helping.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a comfortable location or who need flexibility around work or caring responsibilities.
