About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years' experience working across public and private settings. She offers a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about what feels difficult. She encourages a practical, steady approach so clients can begin to feel more able to manage day to day.
Sarah uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside person-centred listening to help people spot patterns and try new ways of coping. Emotion-focused and attachment ideas are used when relationships or past hurts are at the heart of the problem.
Clients come for many reasons including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, low self esteem and addictions. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career worries, sleep or eating concerns, ADHD and codependency. The work is offered with empathy and without judgement, and Sarah emphasises small, practical steps as well as deeper emotional work.
Sarah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She keeps up professional development and regular supervision. She is DBS checked and has experience working with children, young people and adults.
In sessions she aims to build clarity and choice. Conversations can include thinking exercises, emotional processing and setting manageable goals. People who want a steady, collaborative counsellor who helps them sort out practical problems and painful feelings may find her approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then commit to actions that reflect what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by teaching simple practical steps to move life in a meaningful direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in relationships and how they affect current connections; it can help when past hurts or attachment problems underlie distress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, using empathetic listening to help people find their own solutions and build self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss what feels most useful and try different ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and may change as goals or needs shift over time.
If you want online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking as they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need a quieter arrangement to focus. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can offer these flexible options, and Sarah will help match the practical format to your needs during the intake process.
