About Sarah
Sarah Henderson is a counsellor who uses a straightforward, person-centred approach. She works with people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self esteem or depression. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship concerns, grief, and issues connected to gender and sexual identity such as LGBT-related stress.
Sarah holds NCPS as a credential and is based in the United Kingdom. Sarah frames sessions around each person’s priorities. She adapts the conversation and plan so it fits how someone prefers to talk and make changes.
Background and approach
Practical thinking strategies and goal-focused steps from cognitive behavioural therapy are blended with a client-centred style that keeps the person’s experience central. Her background includes four years working directly with people on everyday problems and emotional struggles. That experience includes helping with sleep and eating concerns, coping with life changes, parenting stresses, and difficulties with intimacy and communication.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. In sessions Sarah pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up, and she helps people name feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness or jealousy. She aims to make conversations manageable and to break issues into small, practical steps.
The overall focus is on helping clients build skills and make changes that fit their daily lives. People can expect clear, respectful dialogue and a plan shaped around what they want to achieve. Sarah encourages honest conversation and works at the client’s pace while offering practical strategies when they are useful.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, follows the client's pace, and reflects concerns back so people feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about personal feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviours that keep problems going. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating difficulties, and helps with practical coping strategies for everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is helping. Clients and therapist work together to decide which mix of talking and practical exercises fits best.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It also makes sessions more accessible for people living abroad, since international clients are accepted. The emphasis is on finding a way of meeting that matches the client's life and needs rather than on any single mode of delivery.
