Sarah Thompson is a United Kingdom based therapist with 17 years of professional experience and a BACP credential, which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She specialises in supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low motivation, low self-esteem and confidence, and depression.

She believes seeking help takes courage and sees her role as a supportive, empowering partner in the process of change. Her approach is collaborative, helping each person identify goals and practical steps toward a more fulfilling and manageable life.

Drawing on established therapeutic approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method and Mindfulness Therapy, she adapts methods to fit each person’s needs and preferences. Sarah is available to work with clients in the United Kingdom and with international clients, offering flexible options to begin therapy and find a path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sarah integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist supports self-exploration and personal growth. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and coping with life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and depression. In addition, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used for work on relationships and attachment, helping people understand and shift emotional responses to improve connection and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, enabling work by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, and they allow people to engage with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, including international clients.
