About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has practised for 10 years. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom and international clients are not accepted.
Sarah uses straightforward talking therapies alongside practical tools. She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and responses. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are used to help with emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.
Attachment-based ideas feature in her work when relationship patterns and abandonment concerns come up. That can mean looking at how early relationships shape current expectations and communication. She also addresses issues such as codependency, body image, dissociation and substance-related problems by linking patterns back to everyday behaviours and choices.
Her background includes work in an NHS clinical setting with multidisciplinary teams, and time in workplace and private settings. Her training record includes postgraduate study in counselling psychology and postgraduate diplomas covering CBT, DBT, ACT and related approaches.
In sessions Sarah focuses on clear, practical steps alongside reflective conversation. She helps people identify repetitive thinking, try different responses, and build small skills to manage stress and social pressures. To begin, people use the site matching process and schedule an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that matter. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often used for anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and can be useful when people struggle with trust, abandonment or repeated relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. Sessions often combine talking with simple practices to try between meetings, and adjustments are made if something does not fit the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone connect from a quieter space. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these practical benefits to support regular appointments and gradual progress.
