About Sarah

Sarah Nelson works on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and a wide range of life challenges using a person-centred approach and solution-focused techniques. She is a member of the BACP and the NCPS and has five years' experience in counselling.

Sarah offers short, direct sessions that focus on what a client wants to change. She listens without judgement and encourages people to find their own answers. Solution-focused work is used where practical steps and small goals can help reduce overwhelm quickly.

Her background includes a Level 4 Counselling Diploma and additional certificates in solution-focused therapy, remote counselling, and working with autistic clients. These courses inform how she plans sessions and structures goal-setting with clients.

In practice she spends time understanding the immediate problems a person brings, such as grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, or coping with life changes. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to identify small, achievable steps forward.

Sessions also cover longer-standing issues like trauma and abuse, ADHD-related coping, and career or relationship difficulties. The style is direct and practical, with attention to feelings as well as actions.

People considering counselling are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging an initial session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective, offering non-directive support so the client can decide what matters and what changes to make. It is useful for issues like self-esteem, grief, relationship worries and feeling overwhelmed.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It suits people who want clear goals and short-term strategies for stress, anxiety, coping with life changes or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose whether to lean more on person-centred listening or on solution-focused planning. This is a collaborative process and can change as sessions progress.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins that suit a schedule. It can also allow shorter or more frequent sessions if that helps with steady progress.
