About Sarah
Sarah Dinenage welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or difficult relationships. She makes space to talk through what is worrying you and helps you begin to make sense of repeating patterns. Sarah writes in a warm, direct way and encourages small steps that change daily life.
Sarah is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of experience working in a range of settings across the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She helps people who are dealing with family conflict, relationship breakdown, trauma and abuse, and long-term mood problems. She also pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns and feelings of isolation or shame. In sessions she listens for both what is said and what is left unspoken.
That helps her and the person she is working with uncover the reasons behind patterns that keep repeating. The aim is clearer self-understanding and less distress day to day rather than quick fixes. Sarah is practical and down to earth in how she works.
She uses an attachment-based approach to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and choices. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s comfort and goals. Her wider focus includes caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and concerns linked to military service.
She blends steadiness with a sense of humour to build trust and make difficult conversations easier to bear. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used so people can find an appropriate time and format to start therapy.

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
Sarah’s approach pays attention to recurring emotional themes such as abandonment, trust and connection. In practical terms this can help with anxiety, relationship problems, caregiver stress and feelings of isolation by making sense of their origins and exploring new ways of responding.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. Progress is shaped together, with adjustments made as needs and priorities change over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is not possible or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing to talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical change.
