About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and motivation. Sarah frames clients as experts on their own stories and uses that perspective to guide practical work in sessions.
Sarah keeps conversations direct and focused. She listens for patterns in how people relate to others and how past events shape current feelings. This helps when addressing attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or the effects of trauma and abuse.
Her approach draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand emotional reactions, and on solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals. She also uses trauma-focused strategies when coping with past hurt is central to the work. Sessions often include talking through situations, testing different ways of responding, and trying short exercises between meetings.
Sarah has supported people with a wide range of difficulties, including grief, addictive behaviours, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and pain, and challenges around intimacy and commitment. She also works with callers facing divorce, blended family issues and caregiving stress.
Practical matters are part of the conversation. Sarah discusses how many sessions to try and what to do between meetings. She asks about what feels manageable and adapts pacing so people can take steps without feeling overwhelmed.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Sarah uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This helps when someone struggles with trust, abandonment worries or repeated relationship conflicts. She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what the person says to build clarity and choice.Alongside those approaches she makes use of solution-focused techniques to set small, practical steps between sessions. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which combination of approaches fits best based on goals, preferences and how issues present in sessions. That choice is reviewed as work progresses rather than fixed at the start.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of remote work are easier scheduling, less travel and the ability to fit a short check-in around work or caregiving. Phone or video can also let people choose a quieter setting or opt out of being on camera for a session with less technical demand. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pacing and tasks so online work fits everyday life.
