Sarah Johnson, NCPS

Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years of experience who aims to help people facing a wide range of life stresses. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and the credential NCPS. She welcomes enquiries from people across the UK and from international clients who prefer English.

Her work often begins with a practical conversation about what feels hardest right now. She helps people talking through anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, addiction and concerns about intimacy. She also supports those dealing with attention difficulties, body image worries, sleep and eating challenges, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abusive relationships.

Sarah uses clear, evidence-informed approaches such as client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She draws on existential and solution-focused ideas when they suit the situation. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.

In therapy people can expect empathy and straightforward feedback. Sarah emphasises small, practical steps alongside exploring meaning and values where that helps. She also addresses more specialised topics like BDSM and kink, attachment issues and blended family stress when relevant.

Her practice works via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. This process helps match priorities and practicalities before the first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to build understanding and self-awareness. It is helpful for people who need a calm space to talk and be heard without judgement.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress and can include homework between sessions to practise new skills.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can be useful for managing worry, rumination and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasise talking, practical exercises or short skills practice.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. People often choose online therapy because it can fit around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Discuss practical needs and availability when you schedule to make sure sessions fit your life.
