About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years' experience helping people navigate difficult moments in life. She holds NCPS and a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Therapeutic Counselling. She works by listening first and then tailoring practical steps to the person in front of her.
Her background includes work with people dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She has supported those who have experienced abuse, trauma, addictions, self-harm and disordered eating.
Background and approach
She also helps people managing grief, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and difficulties around intimacy and relationships. In sessions she keeps things straightforward and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on current problems, how they affect day-to-day life, and small changes that can make a difference.
She uses clear, evidence-informed tools alongside reflective listening to help people try different ways of coping. Sarah draws on client-centred methods to prioritise each person's experience and CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness, and solution-focused tasks help set manageable goals between meetings.
Her approach aims to support people at their own pace. Practically this means simple strategies you can use between sessions, space to talk about painful events, and collaborative planning for next steps. She offers online and remote session options to fit different lifestyles and schedules.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person's situation, and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments, and they let people choose the format that works best for them.
