About Sarah
Sarah Guy is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She has completed over 4,500 client hours and brings practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. She believes people know their own stories and can draw on their strengths to move forward, and she aims to offer steady and compassionate help during change.
Her background includes work in hospice care, a cancer centre and with a relationship agency, alongside independent practice.
Background and approach
Sarah also supervises other counsellors, supporting their professional development and practice. These roles have shaped how she responds to complex and sensitive situations. Sarah works in an integrative way, combining different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person's needs.
She describes her style as warm, empathic and down to earth. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, manageable steps towards change. Practical matters are kept simple.
She works from home and sometimes her cockapoo will pop onto camera during online sessions. If someone wants a therapist who listens without judgement and helps them find realistic ways to cope, Sarah aims to offer that kind of support. She particularly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief and coping with life changes.
Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation and end-of-life and hospice-related concerns.

How Sarah works online
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative planning is reviewed as work progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing options that suit a work break, or by choosing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also help people who prefer speaking without being on camera or who need an appointment from a familiar location. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and adapt the session plan to what works best for each person.
