About Sarah

Sarah Johnson holds a BSc Hons in Therapeutic Counselling and lists NCPS as a credential. She has practised for six years and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with those facing addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and people navigating major life changes. Sarah describes an empathic, non-judgemental style and aims to create a calm space for conversations.

Her background includes a diploma in counselling children and adolescents and experience across a wide age range. That work has included supporting people who have experienced trauma, abusive relationships, self-harm and eating concerns. She also notes experience with ADHD, bipolar and complex medical and caregiving stresses.

Sarah draws on Client-Centred Therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep difficulties going. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills.

She also uses Solution-Focused and Existential approaches to help people clarify values and practical next steps. Sessions aim to mix short-term goals with time to reflect on wider meaning and life direction. The therapist emphasises working at the client’s pace and tailoring methods to each person.

Sarah accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom. The subscription-based arrangement for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, individuals are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a listening-based approach that helps people feel understood and decide their next steps. It is useful for people who want space to explore feelings and make sense of life events.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or stress.

Existential Therapy helps people consider values, meaning and life direction when they face major changes or questions about purpose. It often suits people who want to reflect on deeper life choices alongside practical goals.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the mix of approaches as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that can reduce travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can still combine listening, CBT tasks and mindfulness exercises to help people manage symptoms and move toward clearer steps in daily life.
