About Sarah
Sarah Charney uses a blend of talking therapy and practical skills to help people who are feeling overwhelmed. She is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Sarah keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what you want to change.
She aims to make talking about difficult things feel manageable and useful. Sarah draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness, to help with stress, anxiety and low mood.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour ideas and attachment-based thinking when relationship patterns or trauma are involved. Sessions often include learning small habits and coping tools that can be used day to day. Her background includes working in an NHS clinical setting alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists.
She also has experience in workplace wellbeing and independent practice. That variety means she is used to supporting people with a wide range of issues and daily pressures. Typical concerns she helps with include relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictive behaviours.
She also addresses specific patterns such as abandonment, codependency, avoidant or dependent personality patterns and dissociation. Sarah explains what is happening in plain language and helps people try different ways of responding. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs and availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches straightforward techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. It is useful for worries, depressive thinking and behaviour change work.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting. This approach can help people understand recurring relationship problems, abandonment fears and attachment-related anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then try methods that make sense for you. That way the plan can be adapted as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for more involved sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change.
