About Sarah

Sarah Marlow-Rawles focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She works in a client-centred way and draws on attachment, psychodynamic, solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches. Sarah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her practice emphasises listening and practical conversation. Sessions look at current problems and how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.

Sarah also uses attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that affect relationships, intimacy and parenting. Trauma-focused techniques are used when people bring distressing past events that continue to affect daily life. These approaches are combined to suit the issue being worked on rather than to follow a fixed formula.

Common concerns she helps people with include depression, grief, addictions, body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, work stress and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas listed by Sarah include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, codependency and domestic violence related concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. Sarah’s work includes support for issues such as caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, commitment and control difficulties, dissociation, and blended family challenges. Practical steps and conversational reflection are used to help people manage and move forward.

How these therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people notice repeated problems in close relationships, parenting or intimacy and want to understand why those patterns persist.

Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. It helps people to reflect, make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps at their own pace.

Psychodynamic ideas explore how past experiences influence present reactions and relationship difficulties. This can be useful for longer-running patterns such as commitment issues, avoidance or recurring conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a way of working based on goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative decision and can change as therapy progresses.

If you want to use online sessions, check which formats Sarah currently offers before booking. Confirming the session options is part of the initial matching and scheduling steps. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits practical needs.
