About Sally
Sally Willsher is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and coping with major life changes.

She has carried out over 2,200 counselling hours and has worked in roles such as Counselling Service Manager and Counselling Student Placement Manager. She is also a qualified supervisor. That background means she is familiar with service delivery and with guiding other counsellors.
In session she uses clear, practical ways of working. People can expect to talk through what is worrying them and to try out small steps that feel manageable. She draws on approaches like attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness when these suit a person’s needs.
Sally keeps up with continuing professional development and counselling legislation. She aims to be straightforward about how she works and what to expect from sessions. Her experience includes supporting people through loss, relationship breakdown and the pressures of caregiving.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at relationships and how early patterns influence current feelings. Online sessions can help people notice how they connect with others and practise different ways of relating in everyday life.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In an online session this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying behavioural experiments and reviewing what worked between meetings.
Mindfulness practice teaches simple techniques to notice bodily sensations and thoughts without getting swept up by them. Brief guided exercises used in sessions can be practised at home between meetings to support day-to-day coping.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree together which methods to try. Changes are reviewed as they go so the plan can be adjusted if something is not helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring duties, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people stay consistent with appointments.
