She works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image issues, grief and relationship difficulties.

Sally uses straightforward, person-focused ways of working. She draws on client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try new options.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based thinking and motivational interviewing to explore what people need and to build motivation for change. She holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS, and has three years' experience as a practising counsellor and psychotherapist. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s situation and goals.
In sessions she aims to be warm and non-judgemental. Conversations are geared toward practical steps as well as understanding how past experiences affect present life. Clients work at a pace that suits them, and Sally adjusts methods to match each person’s needs.
People interested in working with her are asked to use the Start Therapy process on the site. The initial steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability. Costs vary with location and the subscription used, which can be cancelled at any time.

How Sally’s approaches translate to online work
Sally uses client-centred work to build a trusting conversation where people can talk about what matters to them. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people feel understood, which can make it easier to take next steps when meeting remotely.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours and tries practical experiments to shift patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption and some types of addictive behaviour by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Sally will work with each person to decide which approaches match their needs and goals. Together they check what feels helpful and adjust techniques as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online therapy can be easier to fit around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people in different locations to work with registered or accredited professionals who match their needs.
