About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist with ten years of experience working with adults. She is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and offers a compassionate, motivating space to talk. Her work often focuses on anxiety and stress, including panic-related difficulties, as well as relationship strain and low self-esteem.
She combines practical strategies with reflective work to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns. That can mean learning new ways to think about stressful situations, practising mindful skills, or developing tools to manage intense emotions. Sessions are aimed at helping people regain control over day-to-day reactions and improve how they cope.
Sarah’s background includes clinical work in an NHS setting alongside psychologists and psychiatrists. She also has experience in workplace and private settings, and holds a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology and other postgraduate qualifications. This experience shapes a practical approach that links emotional health with everyday functioning.
Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Sarah may draw on cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behaviour elements, attachment-focused thinking, and client-centred listening. She tailors sessions to what the individual finds most useful rather than following one fixed method.
People who come for support can expect clear, down-to-earth explanations and small, achievable steps between sessions. The aim is to reduce distress and build skills that help with relationships, mood, and managing stress in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
If Sarah uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) she focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings and actions and practises small, structured changes that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. CBT often includes simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build alternative responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then act in ways that match their values. This approach can be useful for reducing the impact of worry and avoidance on daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and make decisions together about which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in day-to-day situations.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and lets people choose sessions that match their energy levels, for example by avoiding video when that feels too draining. Many people find these practical adjustments help them keep up with therapy while managing everyday responsibilities.
