About Sarah
Sarah Beardsley is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety and a wide range of related concerns including grief, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and LGBT matters. She also supports people with ADHD, autism and eating or body-image difficulties.
She uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. Sessions are conversational and based on what matters to the person in front of her. Sarah aims to help people talk through practical problems and find clearer ways to cope day to day.
People bring different kinds of difficulties into sessions. Sarah has experience with trauma and abuse, abandonment and attachment issues, and with challenges such as chronic pain, illness and disability. She also works with issues like communication problems, control struggles, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.
Her work includes support around parenting strains, divorce and separation, career worries and caregiver stress. She has experience with eating and food-related concerns and with gender dysphoria and other LGBT-related matters. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, usable steps to get there.
Sarah welcomes people who want to explore their thinking and feelings without pressure. She helps clients notice patterns, try different ways of coping and reflect on what works. To start, people are invited to complete the service questionnaire and book an initial session to see how the fit feels.
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and pace. The counsellor listens and mirrors what the client brings, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and identity questions by prioritising what the client wants to work on.Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which ways of working to try and review progress as they go, adjusting the approach where needed.
Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to have regular check-ins and to follow up after a session. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, so check the current options when you arrange your first appointment.
