About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, and she aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable. Sarah offers a calm, non-judgemental approach and focuses on helping people find practical ways to deal with feelings that get in the way of daily life.
She commonly helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and supports those facing relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain and identity questions. Her work also covers addiction, ADHD and issues around body image, sleep and eating. Sarah meets people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, and she helps them explore options at a steady pace.
Her style blends person-centred listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches. This means sessions often begin with what matters most to the client and then try small, realistic changes that can be practised between meetings. Sarah also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
She has worked across public and private settings for many years and continues regular supervision and professional development. Sarah is DBS checked and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.
People who prefer a warm, straightforward therapist may find her approach fits well. She aims to make sessions a place to talk honestly, try new ways of coping, and plan practical next steps that suit everyday life.

Step 3
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by encouraging small steps towards what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That might mean trying one way for a few sessions and adapting as needed, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep momentum between meetings. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and help sustain progress when life gets busy. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help tailor session length and focus to fit everyday routines.
