About Sarah
Sarah Porritt is a counselling therapist with a decade of experience offering support to adults and young people. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which guides her work within a professional ethical framework. Sarah aims to create a kind, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.
She uses evidence-based techniques alongside a down-to-earth style. Sessions often combine practical tools and reflective conversation to help with everyday struggles.
Background and approach
Sarah focuses on problems like anxiety, stress, low mood and motivation, and difficulties with communication. Sarah also supports people facing life changes, loss, and questions about purpose. She works with issues such as self-esteem, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and the strain of caregiving.
Practical skills are offered alongside exploration of feelings to help people manage day-to-day challenges. Her approach includes attention to how relationships and life events affect mood and behaviour. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build confidence to handle difficult moments.
Sessions are intended to be straightforward and useful. Sarah works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people are invited to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to therapist availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Sarah works online
These approaches are used together rather than one at a time. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. It can reduce travel time and allow appointments to be scheduled around work or family commitments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose a session rhythm that fits your routine and supports steady progress.
