About Sarah

Counsellor Sarah Johnson is a member of NCPS with six years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of other life difficulties.

Sarah trained with a BSc Hons in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a diploma in counselling children and adolescents. Her background includes working with adults and younger people from age 11 upwards. She has supported people with trauma, abuse, addictions, self-harm, eating difficulties, body image concerns, and long-term health and caregiving stress.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Sarah uses client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect on what matters most to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns of thought and behaviour, and on mindfulness practices to help manage distressing feelings.

She also uses solution-focused and existential ideas to help people consider values, choices and small steps forward. The emphasis is on clear, manageable actions and on thinking through immediate problems alongside longer-term questions.

Sarah says she works respectfully and without judgement. She invites people to set the pace and to focus on what they want to change. The profile notes that sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and she accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling

Sarah uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to the individual. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping the client lead the conversation about their concerns. It suits people who want a respectful space to talk and be heard.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit and is used to look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, worry and patterns that keep causing problems. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with managing strong emotions and reducing rumination through simple attention and breathing practices.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Sarah will discuss options and test what helps during early sessions. The method can change as goals and needs become clearer, and she works with clients to agree the priorities and pace.

The original biography does not list specific remote formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they fit around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver effective work this way when approach and logistics are agreed in advance.
