Sarah Semper, BACP

Sarah Semper is a counsellor with 14 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She helps with relationship and intimacy challenges, self-esteem and parenting struggles. She also works with grief, trauma and a broad range of other concerns, including issues around identity and LGBT matters.

Sarah uses straightforward talking therapy alongside creative techniques from her arts psychotherapy background. She combines conversational work with practical strategies such as cognitive approaches and mindfulness exercises. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She encourages people to describe what matters most to them and helps set clear, realistic goals. Therapy sessions can include drawing, imagery or other expressive methods when that feels useful.

Sarah has worked with a wide age range and a broad mix of worries over her career. Her background means she is used to adapting approaches to fit each person's needs, pace and preferences. She aims to make therapy accessible and understandable for anyone new to counselling.

People who choose to work with her often want a mix of practical tools and space to talk. She supports clients to build emotional clarity, greater self-worth and steadier coping with the ups and downs of life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect present feelings and behaviour. It can be useful for relationship challenges, issues with trust and attachment-related worries.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the person leads the work. This approach supports people who need space to make sense of their experiences and build self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often suits stress, anxiety and low mood by offering tools for day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on your goals, needs and preferences. You can try different methods and adjust the plan as you go.

Session arrangements are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It also supports shorter check-ins or camera-free conversations when that better fits someone's day.
