About Sally
Sally Pettigrew is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She describes her work as practical and down-to-earth, offering steady support as people face stress, anxiety, relationship strain and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sally has a background in relationship therapy and has worked as a Relate practitioner for ten years.
She also has experience helping people with parenting concerns and the complications that come with blended families, separation and infidelity.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on clear conversation and a tailored plan. She listens to what matters most and adapts the pace to each person’s needs. She aims to create a calm space to talk through communication problems, guilt and shame, or the panic that can arise in daily life.
Practical steps and small goals are part of her approach. She can help people explore life purpose, self-worth, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues that commonly affect women. Forgiveness and rebuilding trust are also topics she supports.
Sally brings warmth and a sense of humour to her work. She asks about each person’s situation and builds a plan together. Sessions are arranged during weekday hours as she does not work evenings or weekends.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, current challenges, and preferred ways of working, then recommend options and adapt them as the work progresses. This keeps the plan relevant to each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing reflection, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. Together these formats make it simpler to fit therapy into weekday schedules and to continue work between sessions.
