About Sarah
Sarah Porritt is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and life transitions. Sessions focus on talking through current problems and finding straightforward ways to cope.
Sarah has worked with adults, young people and families over the last decade. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside person-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people manage worry, overthinking and low motivation. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) provides an ethical framework for her work.
In sessions she aims to listen and reflect back what feels important. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to real-life obstacles such as caregiving, chronic health issues or difficult conversations. She often works on building clearer communication and practical coping strategies.
People meet her to address specific problems like grief, separation, control issues or ongoing loneliness. She also supports those dealing with body image, shame, guilt or questions about life purpose and midlife shifts. The focus is on small, usable steps rather than abstract theory.
Before booking, people can expect a straightforward intake process and a plan for early sessions. Sarah explains options and next steps clearly, and helps set short-term goals that can be reviewed as work progresses.
Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Sarah uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them in everyday life; this often helps with worry, overthinking and anxiety. Person-centred work concentrates on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own priorities and feelings. Mindfulness-based techniques are offered as simple practices to reduce rumination and bring attention back to the present moment. Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk through options in early sessions and pick methods that match the client’s goals, preferences and practical needs. Plans are reviewed as work progresses so the approach can change if something is not working. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a short check-in during a lunch break. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if someone prefers a phone-style conversation, or reduce bandwidth needs when connections are limited. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which formats they offer when you arrange the first appointment.Areas of expertise
