About Sally
Counsellor Sally Turley is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years' experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem and depression, and with issues around relationships, family and trauma.
Sally focuses on practical talking work. She listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns in how they think and behave. Conversations aim to make everyday problems easier to manage and to build more reliable ways of coping.
Her approach draws on several therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the work focused on the person's own pace and concerns. Elements of psychodynamic and Jungian thinking can help uncover deeper patterns that repeat over time.
Sally also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want help finding reasons to change. That method suits work around addictions, motivation and making practical steps forward. Sessions look at small, realistic goals alongside longer term themes.
People come for a mix of short-term problem solving and longer exploration. Sally explains options, discusses what to try next, and reviews progress together. Sessions are conducted in English and based in the United Kingdom.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and pace. In practice that means the counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behaviour, and it uses exercises and small tasks to change those patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to find personal reasons for change and build small achievable steps.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor discusses what feels most helpful in early sessions and adapts methods as work progresses. This means techniques may shift between practical CBT tasks, reflective client-centred listening, and motivational conversations depending on the person's goals.
The therapist's session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online and in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or video sessions when that suits practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a mix of longer sessions and brief reviews to fit everyday life, and this can be discussed when arranging the first appointment.
