About Sarah

Sarah King is a counsellor working with adults from age 18 onwards. She supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, depression, anxiety, grief, and work-related stress. She also helps with intimacy issues, low self-esteem, anger, and career-related concerns. Sarah works inclusively with LGBT clients and with people who identify as neurodivergent.

Sarah practises using a person-centred approach, which means she places the client's experience at the centre of the work. Sessions are collaborative - she listens and reflects rather than giving direct advice. She may suggest reflective exercises or share psycho-educational information to try between meetings, but these are optional and driven by the person's needs.

Her background includes five years of counselling experience and the credential NCPS. She describes her role as working alongside people to help them understand what feels right for them, not as someone who fixes problems for them. Sarah aims to offer a warm, open and non-judgemental space where people feel heard and accepted.

Clients often come with issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness and forgiveness.

Practical steps are kept straightforward. Sarah encourages people to take the lead in sessions and to set goals that make sense for their life. The focus is on building self-awareness and clearer choices that fit each person's situation.

How person-centred work translates online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and placing the client's experience at the heart of sessions. It helps people who are dealing with relationship struggles, grief, anxiety, low mood or questions about identity by making space to talk through feelings and choices. The approach emphasises the person's own goals rather than a therapist-led plan.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust the style to match the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration includes agreeing on how work will be organised and what to try between sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find it simpler to join a meeting from a quieter place at work, or to choose shorter check-ins when a full session is hard to fit in. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online or in-person options before booking.
