About Sarah

Sarah Henderson is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-focused way of working. She offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and issues connected to LGBTQI+ identity. She talks with each person to shape a plan that fits their situation. Her NCPS credential is shown as NCPS.

Sarah places the relationship between counsellor and client at the centre of sessions. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques when helpful. That means she listens first, then introduces simple strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and change unhelpful patterns.

She has four years of professional experience helping people cope with anxiety, panic-related worries, depression and motivation problems. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and the many stresses of everyday life. Sarah works with concerns such as body image, attachment and family communication in individual sessions.

In sessions she aims to be respectful and sensitive, and to adapt the pace to each person. Conversations are practical and grounded, with steps people can try between meetings. She emphasises small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

To begin, Sarah asks about what matters most to the person and what outcomes they hope for. From there she and the client shape a plan and check progress as they go. The overall goal is to help people feel more able to manage life and to make choices that match their values.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as complementary ways to help people. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting working relationship so the person can explore what matters to them. CBT offers practical tools to spot and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that feed anxiety or low mood. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques together and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients take part in deciding which methods fit their needs and preferences. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow quieter check-ins during a workday break, or make it possible to use shorter sessions when needed. Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking to make sure they suit your routine. Registered or accredited professionals can guide choices that fit day-to-day life and commitments, while focusing on realistic steps people can try between meetings.
