About Sarah
Sarah Porritt is a counsellor with ten years of practice supporting adults and young people. She is a BACP member, which means her work follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's ethical framework. Sarah offers a calm, down-to-earth space where people can talk about what is worrying them and work out practical next steps.
Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a warm, person-centred attitude. Sessions focus on understanding unhelpful patterns, managing stress and anxiety, and building confidence. She also helps people cope with grief, life transitions, and long-term health challenges.
Sarah pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, including attachment and communication problems. She supports people facing divorce, separation, parenting strains, and caregiver stress. Men's wellbeing is listed among her areas of focus, and she brings that perspective into conversations about identity and life pressures.
Work in the room aims to be practical and collaborative. Clients can expect to talk through problems, learn coping tools, and set realistic goals. Sarah emphasises plain language and small steps that fit into everyday life.
Clients come for help with low mood, overwhelm, isolation and purpose. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes. If someone wants a straightforward, empathetic counsellor, Sarah offers that steady presence.
She is based in the United Kingdom and works within the BACP framework. People who are unsure how therapy might help are invited to begin with a short matching process and then arrange sessions to suit their circumstances.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Sarah describes her practice as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred way of working. Cognitive approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood. Person-centred work emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental conversation that helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them.These methods are introduced collaboratively. The therapist and client discuss what feels most useful and adapt the approach over time. Together they set goals, try practical strategies between sessions, and review what is helping and what needs to change.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking as the profile does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people choose quieter times, avoid camera use if preferred, or work around mobility or health limitations.
Finding the right way to work is part of the process, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements and session rhythm when you begin. That helps ensure therapy fits with everyday life and with the goals you bring.
