About Sarah
Sarah Leppard is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for five years and holds BACP membership. She helps people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Sarah also supports those dealing with loss, career uncertainty and major life changes.
Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth and she aims to make the first step feel manageable. Sarah adapts conversations to each person's needs. She listens without judgement and works at a pace the person feels comfortable with.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical ways to cope between meetings. Her work draws on client-centred ideas that put the person's experience at the heart of therapy. She also uses narrative methods to help people make sense of difficult stories and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time.
Solution-focused tools are used to set small, achievable goals and build momentum. People come to Sarah for many issues, including relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and depression. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, bereavement, fertility and separation matters.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Conversations can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The subscription-based booking system can be cancelled at any time, and Sarah will help people choose the format that fits their life.

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
Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps by separating the problem from the person and by offering new ways to describe difficult events or identities, which can reduce shame and open up choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and will suggest methods that suit those aims. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity when life is busy or when travel is difficult.
