About Sarah

Sarah Willcocks is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and offers a warm, person-centred way of working. She aims to make sessions respectful and non-judgemental so people can speak openly about stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, bipolar and related concerns.

Sarah works with many issues linked to abuse, bereavement and traumatic loss, plus addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people facing career strain, relationship and intimacy questions, ADHD, and problems that arise from adoption or abandonment. First responder issues and fertility-related distress are also within her background.

Her style is interactive and compassionate. Sessions are led by each person’s pace and priorities. Sarah focuses on honest, accepting presence to help people feel heard and to make sense of difficult experiences.

She uses Person-Centred Therapy alongside Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That mix helps people reflect, set achievable goals, and find practical steps forward. The BACP membership is noted as BACP and indicates adherence to its ethical framework.

People can expect an initial matching process before arranging sessions. The counsellor works from the United Kingdom and communicates in English. International clients are accepted but details about formats should be confirmed when booking.

To begin, follow the platform’s Start Therapy flow and complete the short questionnaire to be matched and scheduled.

How Sarah’s approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving a genuine, accepting presence so a person can lead the conversation and set the pace; it is useful for grief, trauma and self-esteem work. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to notice and strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and can help with addiction, behaviour change and getting unstuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on ways of working together. That means methods and practical steps can be adjusted as the relationship develops.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on difficult days. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals often use a range of approaches to suit different situations, and the counsellor will help identify what fits best.
