About Sarah

Sarah King NCPS is a person-centred counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults aged 18 and over on concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse. Sarah also supports people dealing with parenting strain, stress, self-esteem problems and intimacy-related issues.

Her approach puts the person's experience first. Sessions centre on what the client is feeling and thinking, with the counsellor reflecting and listening rather than giving advice. She may offer short reflective exercises or psycho-educational material to try between sessions, but clients decide if they want to use them.

Sarah has experience helping people navigate hard situations like separation, caregiver stress, loss and complex family dynamics. She also works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment and codependency. Her practice aims to be gender affirming and inclusive, and she notes she is neurodivergent herself.

People can expect straightforward conversation that focuses on understanding what is happening now. The counsellor helps clients name emotions, look at relationship patterns and consider practical steps for managing stress and anxiety. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

Practical options such as reflective tasks or information between sessions are offered without obligation. Sarah’s NCPS credential is noted as part of her professional listing.

Person-centred approach and online counselling

Sarah primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely to the person's feelings and experiences. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps name emotions and supports clients to make their own decisions. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and processing grief.

She may also offer brief reflective exercises or psycho-educational information between sessions. These are suggestions to try outside the session and are optional; they are intended to support learning and practical coping rather than to instruct. Discussing these options is part of finding what feels useful for each person.

Finding the right way of working is collaborative. The therapist will help clients identify goals and decide together which methods fit best. That conversation can include how often to meet, whether to use short check-ins or longer sessions, and what homework or exercises might help.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work and family commitments and making it easier to have appointments from different locations. If you prefer specific online session formats, confirm the exact options before booking so they match your needs.
