About Sarah

Sarah Trent works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression using person centred therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has six years' experience in counselling and related roles.

She trained at the University of Warwick, gaining a BA Honours in counselling and psychotherapy. Her background includes work as a counsellor, psychotherapist and health and wellbeing coach, helping clients who struggle with motivation, confidence and the effects of past abuse.

In sessions she follows a person centred approach. That means she focuses on listening carefully and helping people identify what matters most to them. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to feelings, values and personal goals.

She also helps people manage specific problems such as social anxiety, phobia, guilt and shame. Practical steps and simple coping techniques are used alongside talking to reduce day-to-day distress and improve confidence.

Sarah supports people to clarify life purpose, deal with loneliness and repair important relationships. She frames each session around the client's priorities and works at a steady, manageable pace.

People looking to start are asked to use the service matching process to arrange a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and are offered in English to people living in the United Kingdom.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Person centred therapy emphasises the client's own priorities and aims. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client clarify goals and next steps; this approach is helpful for stress, low confidence and relationship difficulties.

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can include practical coping skills for anxiety and depression and brief behavioural steps to reduce avoidance in social anxiety. These techniques focus on small, repeatable actions to build confidence and reduce daily distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions according to the client's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into work and family life and can reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when video is difficult.
