About

About Sarah

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 13 years of experience in the UK. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addictions and issues related to LGBT identity.

Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life and builds on their existing strengths. She uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to help people feel more understood.

Background and approach

Those approaches focus on building trust in sessions and listening without judgement. Sarah also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence present patterns, and on solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when practical steps are helpful. Sessions are practical and conversational.

Sarah aims to help people spot patterns, try small changes and build skills for everyday life. She talks through coping strategies for sleep, anger, eating, and stress, and helps people set realistic goals for work and relationships. Her background includes many years working with people affected by loss, trauma and family disruptions such as adoption or separation.

She commonly supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and relationship breakdowns. This range of experience informs a steady, patient style in the room. Sarah works in English and does not take international clients.

Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details via the Start Therapy button and the short matching questionnaire.

Online support

How her approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and close relationships affect current feelings and connections. Online sessions using this approach aim to create a steady, trust-building space where people can notice patterns in how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting.

Client-centred therapy is about listening and following the person's pace. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss goals, preferences and how each approach might help, and then agree a plan collaboratively. This means the style can shift as needs change, for example moving from exploring past patterns to trying solution-focused steps.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to schedule appointments around work or caregiving commitments, and it can make regular sessions more practical for those managing health or mobility challenges.
