Sarah Beardsley, BACP
Sarah Beardsley supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.
About Sarah
Sarah Beardsley supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She helps with grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to gender identity and LGBT matters. She also works with eating and body image problems, ADHD, autism and parenting strain.
Sarah uses a client-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her and what they want to change. Conversations are guided by the client’s goals and pace rather than a fixed script.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build understanding, confidence and clearer choices. She brings five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and indicates professional membership.
Sarah adapts sessions to each person’s needs and life context. In practice she listens carefully and reflects what she hears back so people can see patterns and options. Practical coping strategies are offered when useful, alongside space to process emotions and difficult memories.
The approach balances support with gentle challenge when appropriate. Sarah welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. She offers different ways to meet so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.
The focus is on helping people take small, manageable steps towards change.

Approaches Sarah lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
That same client-centred way adapts well to supportive check-ins and longer therapy work. Sarah will work collaboratively to choose what feels right, checking in about goals and adjusting the pace as needs change. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process between the therapist and the person seeking help.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is good when face-to-face contact helps the conversation. Phone calls suit people who prefer not to use video or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing notes between sessions, or when someone needs more frequent, shorter contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and let people choose the way of meeting that feels most comfortable.
