About Sarah

Sarah Johnson works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression and a wide range of other concerns using approaches she describes as client-centred, cognitive behavioural, mindfulness, solution-focused and existential. She is registered with NCPS and has six years' experience working in counselling and psychotherapy.

Sarah trained to a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and also holds a diploma in counselling children and adolescents. Her background includes work with people experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and with those affected by abusive relationships, trauma, anger and addictions.

She has experience supporting people who have struggled with self-harm, suicidal feelings, body dysmorphia and eating disorders. Sarah has also worked with issues around grief, intimacy, sleeping and eating difficulties, and the stresses of caregiving and chronic illness.

Her practice covers a broad range of life changes and relational problems, including career pressures, commitment issues, codependency and concerns tied to attachment or abandonment. Additional focus areas listed include neurodiversity, ageing and blended family matters.

In sessions she uses client-centred ways of working alongside practical cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused exercises. Mindfulness practices and existential discussion are offered where they suit the person's goals.

Sarah accepts international clients and carries out work in English. To begin, clients choose the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work with online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental conversation. It helps people who need time to make sense of their feelings and to set their own pace for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and goal-oriented. It looks at thoughts and behaviours and introduces techniques people can use between sessions to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns.

Existential Therapy involves talking about meaning, choice and values. It can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone is facing big questions about direction and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and agree an approach that fits the person's goals, preferences and practical needs in a collaborative way.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt practical techniques like CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to suit online sessions.
