About Sarah
Sarah Howell offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people talk through low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma and addiction. Her style is practical and person-focused so sessions aim to feel like a collaborative conversation rather than a lecture.
Sarah draws on solution-focused work and client-centred ways of working to help people identify strengths and set clear goals.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions to find manageable changes. This mix is used flexibly depending on what each person needs. Her background includes counselling in charities and independent practice.
That experience means she has worked with people from a wide range of situations and ages. Common issues she supports include grief, low self-esteem, intimacy and sleeping or eating difficulties. In sessions she aims to build a partnership where people feel heard and able to try new approaches between meetings.
Conversations usually focus on practical steps and coping strategies as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. Sarah offers appointments by video, email and instant messenger. Before booking, people are encouraged to check current session formats and scheduling to make sure they fit with daily life.

How Sarah works online
Finding the right approach is part of the journey and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That shared planning helps shape sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
Sarah currently offers sessions by video, email and instant messenger, but readers should confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Some people prefer messaging for steady, reflective contact while others like video for a face-to-face feel; the counsellor will help find what best fits everyday life and therapeutic aims.
