About Sarah

Sarah King is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults aged 18 and above and supports people facing relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and grief.

Sarah uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's own perspective central. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying feelings and helping people make sense of their experience. She may suggest reflective exercises or short psycho-educational materials to try between meetings, offered without obligation.

Many people contact her about attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with issues around guilt, shame, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes including divorce and separation.

Her practice is inclusive and gender affirming, and she describes herself as neurodivergent. Sarah aims to be non-judgemental and direct in conversation, helping people identify what matters most to them and what they want to change.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Sarah does not give fixed answers but helps people explore options and build clearer ways of moving forward. This approach is suited to people who want a talking space that keeps their experience central while offering occasional practical suggestions.

She accepts international clients and works in English. If someone is unsure whether her style fits, the first meeting is treated as a chance to see how they feel about working together.

How sessions work

How her person-centred approach works online

Sarah works from a person-centred framework which means the focus is on the client's experience, feelings and priorities. In practice this looks like listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping someone name and order their concerns so decisions become clearer. This approach can help with relationship strain, parenting worries, grief and anxiety by giving space to the client's perspective.

She may also offer brief reflective exercises and psycho-educational suggestions between meetings. These are practical prompts to try out and discuss later. They are optional and chosen together based on what the client prefers and finds useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adjust how they work together based on the client's goals and personal preferences. That means deciding together whether to focus more on emotion, practical coping or relationship patterns.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around family life or work commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help keep therapy consistent with everyday routines.
