About Sarah

Sarah Henderson is an NCPS-credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and issues related to LGBT identity. She also helps with parenting concerns, grief, trauma and addictions.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to be conversational so people can talk through what is happening at home or at work. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes.

Sarah commonly supports adults facing family problems, blended family stress and communication breakdowns. She also assists people wrestling with attachment or abandonment worries, body image or gender dysphoria, and those coping with chronic illness or caregiver strain. She can talk through intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and grief.

In a typical session she listens for the immediate practical problems and the patterns that sustain them. Conversations often include straightforward tools from CBT, such as testing thoughts and planning small behavioural shifts. The therapist-centred techniques are mixed with a person-led pace so clients can set the agenda.

People who prefer an organised start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person's priorities and lets them lead the conversation. This approach suits people who need space to clarify feelings and decide what matters most in their relationships and home life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and tries small experiments to shift them. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep and practical relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and will suggest ways of combining person-led listening with practical CBT tools. The decision about methods is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for screen-based sessions and focus on everyday changes that fit around home life.
