About Sarah
Sarah Willcocks is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and related concerns such as depression, bipolar and relationship difficulties. Her practice includes support for addiction, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem issues.
Sarah uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s perspective first. She aims to be honest and non-judgemental while allowing the person to set the pace of sessions. This approach is combined with solution-focused techniques and elements of motivational interviewing to help identify practical next steps.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the client and helps them try out small, manageable changes. She has experience supporting people who have survived childhood and adult trauma, including physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and those coping with traumatic loss and bereavement.
Her background also covers work with people who have received diagnoses such as personality disorder, bipolar disorder, OCD and disruptive mood presentations. She has supported clients with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment, and first responder challenges.
Sarah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works in line with its ethical framework and guidance for online counselling. Sessions are offered in English and she is open to working with international clients. To begin, readers are invited to use the site booking route to match and schedule a first appointment.
How Sarah’s approaches work in online sessions
Sarah works mainly in a person-centred way. This means the counsellor listens carefully, stays non-judgemental and lets the client set the pace. It suits people who need time to find their words and want a steady, client-led approach.She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps and goals. These methods focus on what helps now and on achievable changes that can reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and boost commitment to chosen changes, which can help when someone feels stuck or unsure.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to attend when schedules are tight, and can allow shorter check-ins if needed. The site booking route includes a matching questionnaire to help arrange the first session, and readers should confirm the precise session formats available before booking.
