About Sarah
Sarah Dunn offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life shifts. She focuses on helping individuals notice their strengths and make steady changes. Sarah aims to create a straightforward space for people to talk about what matters and find ways forward.
She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background has involved helping people with family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with pregnancy and childbirth, workplace pressures, and major life transitions. In sessions she encourages clients to take the lead on what to work on, while offering practical techniques to manage symptoms. Conversations tend to focus on small, manageable steps that build confidence over time.
She explains options clearly and checks in about what is and isn’t helpful. Sarah also works with concerns such as body image, eating and food-related issues, drug and alcohol addiction, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and social anxiety. She pays attention to how relationships and communication affect everyday life and helps people repair or rethink those patterns.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She aims to support clients as they try new things between sessions and notice what changes. The first meeting is usually about understanding priorities and planning simple first steps.

How Sarah works online
Another approach concentrates on trauma and recovery by helping clients make sense of difficult experiences and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. This work often includes grounding strategies and pacing to rebuild a sense of safety and routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, needs and preferences. Sessions start with a clear plan and adapt as progress is made, so people can try different ways of working and agree what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue work while living elsewhere in the United Kingdom, with practical scheduling that suits everyday life.
