About Sally

Sally Humphries is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and depression. Sally also supports people dealing with issues connected to autism and Asperger Syndrome, cancer, divorce and separation, and postpartum difficulties.

She aims to build a genuine connection with each person who comes for help. Sessions focus on listening carefully and responding without judgement. People can expect a steady, human approach rather than clinical jargon.

Sally often helps clients untangle family of origin issues, blended family challenges, infidelity and the emotional fallout from separation. She has experience supporting those facing life stage questions such as midlife change and life purpose. Practical concerns like panic attacks and work-related stress also feature in her caseload.

She has worked with people affected by serious illness, including hospice and end-of-life concerns, and with those living with the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Guilt, shame and the emotional shifts of pregnancy and childbirth are also within her focus.

Her style follows a client-centred approach. That means clients set the pace and topics. The counsellor offers empathic listening, reflective feedback and a steady presence while people talk through what matters to them.

To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session. The service uses a cancellable subscription for sessions, with cost varying by location.

How sessions work

How client-centred approaches work for online sessions

Sally uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on careful listening and responding to what the client brings. This approach helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety and family issues to make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps.

The therapist aims to work collaboratively. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will discuss what feels helpful. Decisions about focus and pace are made together, based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.

Session formats are not detailed in the supplied profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy household, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travelling to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals typically use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday life.
