About Sarah

Sarah Beardsley works on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, parenting, career questions and neurodiversity challenges. She uses a client-centred approach and has five years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

Sarah meets people where they are and focuses on what matters most to them. Sessions are built around the person rather than a fixed protocol. She listens for what is causing distress and helps the person put words to difficult feelings and experiences.

She has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and food-related difficulties, and gender dysphoria. Sarah also works with those facing abandonment or attachment issues, dissociation, and the fallout of separation or divorce. Practical coping strategies form part of her work when needed.

Her experience includes supporting autistic people and those with ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. She also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image concerns. This range means she can recognise how different problems interact in everyday life.

Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on the person’s priorities. Sarah helps people sort out communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and the emptiness that can follow major life changes. She encourages clear, manageable steps and regular review of progress.

How client-centred counselling works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens and reflects what the person says, helping them to understand feelings and decide what matters next. This approach suits issues like grief, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Sarah’s way of working is collaborative. She will help the person and the counsellor decide which methods and steps fit best with the person’s goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions and can be adjusted as work continues.

Practical benefits of remote work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel needs. Online appointments can make short check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to schedule around work, study or family life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they fit your circumstances.
