About Sally

Sally Turley is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and anger. Sally is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Sally focuses on helping people talk through what feels overwhelming. She listens without judgement and helps clients name what is happening day to day. Conversations will cover what triggers strong reactions, and practical steps to change patterns that cause regret or tension.

Her work draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and builds small experiments to test new ways of coping. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the client's own priorities and pace. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas may be used to look at longer-standing patterns and underlying themes that repeat in relationships.

Sessions include practical skills and reflective conversation. Sally also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits such as substance use or eating behaviours. She aims to balance short-term problem solving with exploration of deeper issues when useful.

People often come for help with work stress, relationship tensions, parenting strain, or managing anger and resentment. The process begins with a clear discussion of goals and what a client wants to try next. To start, clients follow the practice's online steps to match and book a session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Sally uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical experiments that change reactions and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, stress and habits that affect daily life.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the client's concerns and goals at the centre of sessions. This approach supports people who need a steady, listening space to sort out immediate problems and set manageable goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want to change behaviours such as substance use or eating patterns; it focuses on boosting motivation and practical next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods to try first, based on current needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let people have longer sessions when needed without the logistics of going to an office.
