About Sarah
Sarah Semper helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship or intimacy worries. She supports those dealing with self-esteem difficulties, major life changes, grief and trauma. Sarah's name appears first because she offers a warm, direct way of working that many find easy to follow.
Sarah has 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She blends talking therapy with practical tools. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, useful steps to get there.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with more balanced choices. Mindfulness and client-centred elements help people pause and notice what matters to them in day-to-day life.
In some sessions Sarah adds creative methods such as imagery and expressive exercises. These can make it easier to access feelings that are hard to put into words. The mix of creative and practical work is tailored to each person rather than being the same every time.
People who choose Sarah often want clearer boundaries, better communication, and a stronger sense of self. She aims to help people feel more confident in making decisions and managing difficult emotions. The emphasis is on steady progress and usable strategies.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule. The process is straightforward and designed to get to work on the issues that matter most.

Online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental conversation. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person find their own solutions, which suits emotional concerns like low self-worth and grief.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It often includes small tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping with anxiety and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what feels most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect that fit everyday life. Video calls create a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
