About Sarah

Sarah Mayberry is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years' experience. She specialises in stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and also supports people with low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English. Sarah uses a mix of approaches including Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic ideas.

Sarah describes her work as collaborative. She listens to what someone wants to address and then shapes sessions around that. Conversations focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and on practical steps that can be tried between meetings.

Person-Centred methods mean Sarah gives space for people to tell their story and decide the pace. CBT elements look at patterns that keep problems going and try out different ways of thinking and behaving. Psychodynamic ideas are used to consider how earlier experiences might affect current reactions.

She addresses a range of specific concerns such as attachment issues, body image, communication difficulties, control struggles, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Sarah also works with isolation, loneliness and forgiveness questions.

Her practice is delivered online with appointment times to fit daytime, evenings and weekends. The process usually begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session so practical arrangements can be agreed.

How Sarah uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Person-Centred work focuses on listening and giving the person space to tell their story. In practice this means longer stretches of open conversation to understand what matters most and to decide pacing together.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT-style work typically involves identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small behavioural experiments and reviewing what changed between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas are used to consider how past relationships and early experiences might shape current reactions. This usually involves noticing recurring themes in thoughts and relationships and reflecting on them over time.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, test what helps, and adjust techniques based on what the client finds useful.

The published biography states the practice is delivered online. Confirm the exact session formats before booking to know whether video or phone options are offered. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and allow shorter check-ins or evening slots when needed.
