About Sarah

Sarah King is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults aged 18 and over and helps people facing relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, depression, anxiety, grief and anger. Sarah also supports clients dealing with self-esteem, career stress, intimacy issues and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is person-centred, which keeps the client's experience at the core of sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual. She offers reflective exercises and short pieces of psycho-educational material to use between sessions, but these are optional and the client decides what feels useful.

Sarah aims to work collaboratively rather than teaching or directing. She listens for the client’s reality, feelings and needs, and helps them make sense of difficult situations. The emphasis is on understanding relationships, attachment patterns and recurring problems that cause distress.

She names and explores issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and blended family problems. She also addresses caregiving stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame. Sessions can include talking through past hurts and the ways those experiences affect current relationships.

Sarah is neurodivergent and gender affirming and states she works inclusively with adults. Her style is straightforward and practical. People who want to manage strong emotions like anger, reduce relationship conflict, or find clearer ways to cope with change often seek her support.

How sessions work

Person-centred approach and online counselling

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening to the client's experience without directing them. It helps people who want to understand their feelings, improve relationships and make clearer choices about next steps.

She may offer brief reflective tasks or psycho-educational material between sessions to reinforce what comes up in conversations. These tools aim to support insight and practical coping, particularly around relationship patterns, attachment issues and how anger shows up in daily life.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which techniques and pace suit the client's needs and goals. That collaborative decision-making continues as therapy progresses to make adjustments where needed.

The original biography did not list specific session formats. Please confirm which online formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel on workdays. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help clients manage strong emotions and relationship stress in ways that fit everyday life.
