About Sarah

Sarah Johnson is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years' experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and related concerns, and lists LGBT issues, self esteem, ADHD, addictions and relationship and family concerns among her areas of focus.

She trained with a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a diploma in counselling children and adolescents. Over six years she has worked with adults across a wide age range on issues including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, grief, anger and coping with life changes.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Sarah uses clear, structured techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside client-centred listening. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help with specific problems and small steps forward.

She pays attention to how past experiences and current patterns affect everyday reactions. That includes attachment and abandonment concerns, avoidant or antisocial personality patterns, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sarah also lists work with intimate and sexual culture topics including BDSM and kink.

Her work aims to reduce immediate distress and build skills for handling social situations, relationships and daily pressures. She accepts international clients and offers sessions for people who want support with career stress, parenting challenges, chronic health issues or complex co-morbidity.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sarah blends client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers; it helps when someone needs acceptance and time to talk through worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy uses structured exercises to notice thought patterns and try small behaviour changes, which can help with anxiety and phobias. Mindfulness therapy offers short attention and breathing practices to reduce unhelpful reactivity and support calmer moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals and preferences, checking what feels useful and adjusting as needed over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow regular, shorter check-ins when that suits a daily routine. They also let people access a therapist from another area or country when international work is appropriate. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and help clients decide how to structure sessions to fit their lives.
