Sarah Henderson, NCPS

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to make space for each person’s story. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client’s lead to identify what matters most. It helps with building self-esteem, processing identity questions, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, often involving simple exercises and tasks between sessions to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, or manage low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sarah will talk through goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what works best. Together they set small steps and review progress, adjusting the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. Video calls let people see facial cues and work through exercises visually. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking.

These remote options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, while still using client-centred listening and CBT tools to address the issues that matter.
