About Sarah
Sarah Cattermole supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career pressures and relationship strain. She also helps with depression, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes and coaching for practical goals. Her approach is warm and approachable and suited to people who want a straightforward, down-to-earth space to talk.
Sarah uses a mix of talking and practical techniques in sessions. She listens first and then works with each person to agree small, realistic steps.
Background and approach
Cognitive-behavioural tools are used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of responding. Client-centred work keeps the conversation focused on the person’s own priorities and strengths. Sarah trained in psychology and health psychology, holding a 2:1 degree in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University.
She also completed counselling qualifications at CPCAB levels 4 and 5 and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions aim to be practical and relevant to daily life. People often leave with strategies they can try between meetings and a clearer idea of what they want to change.
The therapist adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs. Sarah welcomes people based in the United Kingdom and international clients who use online formats. She draws on a small set of evidence-based methods and keeps the work simple and goal-focused to help people see steady progress.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree what to try first. That collaborative process means methods are adjusted as needs change, not fixed from the start.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging suit quicker check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers typing. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy easier to fit into daily routines, travel schedules and busy weeks.
