About Sarah

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next steps, and she focuses on respect, sensitivity and a non-judgemental way of working. Sarah uses conversation that is tailored to each person rather than a fixed script. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone seeking a change.

Her background includes supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, career difficulties and coping with life changes. Sarah works with a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. Practical matters like eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress and anger are part of her work as well.

Sarah draws on approaches that centre the client and their story, helping people make sense of past patterns and find clearer ways forward. In sessions she encourages reflection about relationships and recurring life themes, while also setting small steps that feel achievable. The aim is to balance understanding with forward movement.

People can expect direct but compassionate conversation. Sarah invites questions and adapts the pace to each person. She describes the work as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the focus. Her BACP credential indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are accepted. If someone wants to try therapy, Sarah asks them to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to her availability.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s needs and perspective first. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s pace, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship worries.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. By separating a person from their problem, it can help rewrite unhelpful patterns and open up new possibilities for career decisions, family roles and identity questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals become clearer, so the focus matches the client’s needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed over time.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy in step with everyday life. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments and reduce travel time. The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking.
