About Sarah
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. Sarah Howell helps people with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, self-esteem and related issues using solution-focused, client-centred work and elements of cognitive behavioural approaches.
Sarah speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on what a person wants to change. She treats the relationship in therapy as a partnership and aims to identify strengths and practical steps clients can use between meetings. Sessions commonly address sleeping and eating difficulties, anger and intimacy-related worries as well as work and career stress.
Her past roles include work in charities and private practice, providing support to people from diverse backgrounds and ages. That experience informs how she combines brief, goal-oriented techniques with space to look at deeper patterns when needed.
In practice she draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and on Client-Centred principles to keep the conversation person-led. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Practical options are offered by video, email and instant messenger. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and any local differences in cost. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session can then be scheduled.

How Sarah applies therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns of relating affect present relationships. Online work using attachment ideas often looks at how a person connects, feels safe asking for support and reacts in close relationships.Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's perspective. The counsellor listens without directing and follows what the client brings to each session, which helps people clarify what matters and make their own choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In practice this can include short exercises or experiments between sessions aimed at mood, anxiety, sleep or eating problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sarah will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit someone’s goals, preferences and daily life. That choice can be reviewed as therapy continues.
Session options listed in the biography include video, email and instant messenger. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, allow shorter check-ins via messaging and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these formats to help people balance therapy with everyday commitments.
