About Sarah
Sarah Porritt is a counsellor with a decade of experience supporting adults in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's standards. Sarah aims to make sessions straightforward and down-to-earth.
She focuses on real problems and practical steps rather than jargon. Sarah's day-to-day work addresses stress, anxiety and overthinking. She also helps with low mood, loss and feelings of isolation.
Background and approach
People come to her about parenting pressures, relationship communication and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with a warm, non-judgemental style. Sessions look at what is causing distress now and what can help in the short term.
She uses simple tools to manage intense feelings and to improve coping day to day. Sarah has a particular interest in themes such as abandonment, attachment issues and body image. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain and illness-related stress.
Other areas she works with include control issues, guilt, forgiveness and life purpose. Practical outcomes are important in Sarah's work. Conversations aim to surface patterns, try new ways of responding, and build skills for clearer communication.
Her sessions tend to be calm and pragmatic, helping people move from stuck to more manageable routines.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps most in practice.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you hold a fuller conversation when you prefer face-to-face contact. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you want a simpler setup. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, while keeping the focus on practical progress.
