About Sally
Sally Humphries helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She also supports those facing family problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and women's health concerns such as pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum depression. Sally has particular experience with autism and Asperger syndrome and with people affected by cancer and end-of-life care.
Sally practises in a warm, down-to-earth way. She aims to build a real connection where people feel heard and not judged.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to suit the person who has come for help. She positions herself as a fellow traveller rather than an expert who tells people what to do. Her main approach is client-centred therapy, which means the person’s needs and views shape each session.
That approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of painful feelings, to grieve, or to rethink relationships and life direction. Sally focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people discover their own way forward. With more than 22 years of experience, she has supported people through anxiety, panic, trauma, loss and the emotional effects of serious illness.
Her work includes both short-term conversations and longer-term support, depending on what a person needs. Sessions are delivered in ways arranged at booking, so it’s best to confirm current options before scheduling. Sally works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She is registered with BACP and NCPS, and she uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sally works online
Her practice also emphasises being alongside someone as they work through life changes. That means sessions focus on building trust, being authentic and allowing people to set the pace and topics they want to address. Finding the right therapeutic fit is collaborative; Sally will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the way she works to suit the person who contacts her.
Practical benefits of online therapy are worth considering before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or medical appointments and can reduce travel time. They can also allow a gradual return to talking when someone finds face-to-face meetings difficult. Session formats should be confirmed at booking, as current options are arranged by the therapist and may vary.
