About Sarah

Sarah Henderson is a counsellor registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and anger. Sessions also address LGBTQI+ related issues and difficulties with motivation and confidence.

Her practice blends client-centred therapy with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. That means conversations begin with the person's immediate concerns and values, then move to practical steps and thinking patterns that make daily life easier. She uses straightforward talk and exercises rather than technical language.

Sarah pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment issues can shape current relationships. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, or challenges with intimacy and body image. Work might include looking at patterns, trying new communication approaches, and small behavioural experiments to test different ways of responding.

For those struggling with addictions, sleep or eating problems, or chronic health conditions, sessions aim to link immediate coping strategies with longer term changes. Career stress, parenting strain and compassion fatigue are also topics she addresses in practical ways. Sarah accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.

Initial steps involve a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The service uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions; cost varies by location. Before booking, clients should check the current session options and scheduling details.

How sessions work

How client-centred and CBT methods work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach begin with open conversation about what matters most, then shape the work around those goals. This style suits people who want to be listened to and to set the pace for change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include short practical exercises, activity plans and simple experiments to try between appointments. This helps with issues such as anxiety, anger, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to prioritise listening and reflection, practical CBT tasks, or a mix of both based on the client’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep therapy practical and accessible without changing the focus of the work.
