About Sarah
Sarah Cree is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, parenting pressures and relationship concerns. Sessions are presented plainly and directly to help people manage day-to-day strain and make practical changes.
Sarah draws on person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour approaches, solution-focused conversations, and trauma-informed methods. This mix is applied in simple, step-by-step ways so people can try new habits between sessions.
She has a long history supporting autistic and neurodivergent people and a focus on ADHD, sleep problems tied to trauma, and transitions such as menopause. Sarah also works with issues linked to family of origin, abandonment, adoption and foster care and separation. Her background includes work with grief, body image and eating-related difficulties.
Sessions emphasise practical tools for emotional regulation, clearer communication and better daily routines. Sarah offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapeutic conversations when a client prefers goal-focused work. She uses expressive methods, such as writing and sandtray, where useful to help people access feelings and memories.
People who choose her often want straightforward help with parenting stress, relationship strain, or the effects of long-term anxiety and trauma. She invites clients to set small, realistic goals and to try concrete strategies between meetings.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sarah blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour techniques. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping a person reflect on their priorities and feelings. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical experiments to try between sessions. DBT-style skills teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication in short, practiceable steps.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked before, then try methods that suit the person. Clients can expect the therapist to check in and adjust methods if something is not helpful, aiming for a clear plan each week that connects to everyday life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are set when you arrange care. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work and other commitments by removing travel time and allowing sessions from a convenient location. It can also help with practical choices such as shorter check-ins, sessions without video if that is easier, or focused coaching-style meetings to address specific problems. Registered or accredited professionals will explain available formats during the initial matching and scheduling steps to help you choose what fits your routine.
