About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is a counsellor with six years of practice experience. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and the NCPS credential. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, mood concerns and relationship worries, and helps people take practical steps towards change.
Her route into counselling began with personal experience, which shaped a straightforward, empathetic style. Sessions focus on listening first, then helping people find strategies that fit their life.
Background and approach
She aims to make the process feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Sarah blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness tools in ways that suit each person. That can mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different ways of coping, or using simple mindfulness exercises to ease stress.
She also draws on solution-focused work to set clear, short-term goals. People come for a wide range of concerns including low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and long-term health or caregiving stress. She also supports those dealing with intimacy and sexual culture topics, body image, and identity issues within LGBT lives.
Sessions are carried out according to the therapist's current practice arrangements, so readers should confirm available session options before booking. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Sarah works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process that can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and check in without needing a long commute. It can also allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when that suits the person's schedule, and it removes the need to arrange childcare or time off work for every appointment.
