About Sarah

Sarah Leppard works on relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, loss, career difficulties and coping with life changes using a conversational, person-focused approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

She aims to listen and reflect rather than lecture. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and how to make manageable changes. Practical steps and brief exercises are used when helpful, alongside exploring personal stories and recurring patterns.

Sarah uses several counselling approaches. Client-Centred Therapy informs how she responds to a person's concerns, prioritising the client’s perspective. Narrative Therapy helps people rework the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at repeating patterns that affect current life and relationships.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and bereavement. She also supports work on eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, depression and ADHD related issues, along with additional focuses such as divorce, chronic illness and family problems.

Sessions are designed to be straightforward and practical. Clients can expect calm conversation, purposeful reflection and tasks to try between meetings when relevant. International clients may be accepted; please confirm session options before booking.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and on being listened to without judgement; it is useful for building confidence and clarifying personal priorities. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves, and helps separate a person from their problems, which can ease issues like shame or relationship conflict. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeating patterns from the past that influence present relationships and emotions, which can help with longstanding difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then agree a way forward together. This collaborative process can include trying different approaches to see what fits best.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer practical flexibility for people living abroad who want to work with a UK-based BACP counsellor.
