Sarah Lacon , NCPS

Sarah Lacon is a United Kingdom based therapist who holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification. With three years of clinical experience, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, neurodiversity and inclusion needs, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties and a wide range of related concerns. Her practice also covers ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, alongside focused areas like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity, communication and control issues, separation and divorce, family of origin problems and forgiveness.

Sarah works from a compassionate, client-centered stance that aims to create a nurturing and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. She integrates practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside motivational techniques and psychodynamic perspectives to help people build coping skills and find renewed hope. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage; Sarah aims to support clients at a deep level during that process and to foster a sense of possibility throughout therapy.

How Sarah's therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Sarah draws on client-centered therapy to place the individual at the heart of the work, offering a respectful, empathic stance that helps people articulate their goals and build a stronger sense of self. This approach is useful for issues like relationship difficulties, family concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, providing practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood changes, anger and stress. CBT often includes clear, skills-based work that adapts well to remote formats.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help people develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation, sleep, and coping with chronic pain or ongoing distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sarah works with clients to explore which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, making it easier to access consistent support from home, work or while travelling. These remote options can help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapeutic work into busy lives.
