About Sarah
Sarah Leppard is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, career difficulties, grief and trauma-related issues.
Sarah keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what matters to each person and uses that to shape conversations. She avoids jargon and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns, make different choices and manage daily pressures more easily.
Her background includes work across common issues such as depression, anger, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and responses to chronic illness or caregiving stress. She also helps with feelings of abandonment, blended family difficulties, and separation or divorce worries. The range of concerns means she often combines practical problem-solving with deeper reflection on past experiences.
In practice she draws on Client-Centred, Narrative, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches. That means she can offer space to tell your story, look at how past events shape current patterns, and try short-term strategies to ease immediate pressure. Sarah will discuss which mix feels most useful for the person in front of her.
Sessions are conducted in English and she works with international clients as well. Before a first appointment she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then to schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Sarah uses Client-Centred and Solution-Focused methods alongside Narrative and Psychodynamic ideas. Client-Centred work involves listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person, which can help with low self-esteem and anxiety. Solution-Focused work focuses on small, practical changes and short-term goals to reduce pressure day to day. Narrative and Psychodynamic approaches look at life stories and past patterns to understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the mix of conversation and practical steps based on each person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape the focus of sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as specifics are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family duties. They can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and offer options if being on camera is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to keep regular contact and follow up on practical tasks between meetings.
