About Sarah

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs. Sarah focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship concerns, low self esteem, loss, career difficulties and big life changes.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens closely and helps clients make sense of what matters most to them. Sessions are used to work through feelings, spot patterns that get in the way, and try out practical ways to make small changes.

Sarah draws on a mix of talking approaches to match the person's goals. She uses client-centred ways to keep the session focused on what the person wants. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at life stories and past patterns that influence how someone feels today.

People come to her for common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and difficulties with intimacy or parenting. She also supports those facing burnout, compassion fatigue, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness and issues around forgiveness or guilt.

Her work is collaborative and paced to the individual. Sarah aims to help people feel heard, gain clearer perspective and build practical coping steps. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.

Step 3

How Sarah's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's concerns at the heart of the work. The counsellor follows what the person brings to sessions, offering empathy and support to help them find their own solutions. This approach can help with stress, low self esteem and relationship worries.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate the person from the problem and can be useful for issues like grief, identity concerns and repeating patterns. That practical re-framing can make daily choices feel different.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and will try different ways of working until something fits. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time.

For practicalities, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online counselling can make appointments easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins or let someone join without needing travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need a quieter, low-bandwidth option for a session.
