About Sarah

Sarah Henderson is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and motivation. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients from outside the UK.

Sarah uses clear, practical conversation to tackle everyday problems. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try workable alternatives.

She supports people facing low mood, grief, trauma and addiction-related difficulties. Issues such as sleep and eating problems, anger, and coping with life changes are also part of her caseload. Additional topics listed include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship breakdown.

In sessions she pays attention to communication difficulties, intimacy-related worries, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Work on career-related stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges is offered as conversational and skills-based support. Gender dysphoria and LGBT-specific matters are also included in her practice.

Sarah explains her approaches in straightforward terms and aims to help people try practical steps between meetings. Practical planning, thought-recording and structured tasks may be suggested when CBT fits the situation. The emphasis is on clear discussion and small, manageable changes rather than lengthy theory.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on open, respectful listening and following the topics the client brings. This approach helps people feel understood and clarifies what they most want to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, then tests practical alternatives. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating difficulties and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will collaboratively choose whether more Client-Centred conversation or structured CBT tasks make sense for the situation.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, turn off the camera for a session, or use audio-only if that helps them engage more comfortably.
