About Sarah

Sarah Dunn is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients at this time.

She works in a way that treats the client as the expert in their own story. She looks for existing strengths and practical steps a person can take to reduce distress. In sessions she listens, helps people make sense of what is happening, and supports them to try different approaches to ongoing problems.

Her background includes direct experience with relationship and family problems, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and difficulties around pregnancy and childbirth. She also addresses issues such as body image, eating and food-related concerns, drug and alcohol addiction, and workplace stress. These areas often link with anxiety, low self-worth, or transitions in life.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals. Conversations may include developing coping strategies, working on communication, and addressing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Sarah encourages practical exercises between meetings so people can test new ways of coping in everyday life.

People who come for help can expect straightforward feedback and a collaborative attitude. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sarah describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is working on thoughts and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and unhelpful habits. This involves noticing automatic reactions, testing alternative responses, and trying short exercises between sessions to see what helps.

Another common technique is trauma-informed work that focuses on safety, pacing and gradual processing of difficult memories. This approach aims to reduce the intensity of post-traumatic reactions and improve coping after events such as sexual assault or other abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients identify which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences, and adapt techniques as progress unfolds. This is a collaborative process with room to adjust pace and focus.

If you are considering remote work, confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote appointments to support ongoing work while helping clients integrate changes into daily life.
