About Sally
Sally Turley welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supports clients who are navigating loss, addictive behaviours, confidence issues and struggling with motivation. Sally is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom.
Sally keeps conversations straightforward and non-judgemental. She creates space for people to say what they need to say and helps them notice patterns that get in the way.
How Sally works
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring deeper feelings when that feels useful. Her approach draws on several well known methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own priorities at the heart of the work. When helpful, she also brings psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at longer-standing patterns and meaning. Sally has supported people through issues such as grief, family and relationship difficulties, eating concerns, addiction and anger.
She also works with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment, autism and caregiver stress. Her aim is to help clients build clearer choices and better day-to-day coping. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person.
Sally encourages small experiments between meetings and practical strategies clients can use right away. She seeks to build a collaborative relationship where goals are reviewed as progress happens.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Sally uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on each person’s priorities and to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to sort their feelings and make choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, low mood and managing addictive behaviours.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Sally will discuss different approaches and agree a plan based on your goals and how you respond. The decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video would be difficult or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, brief contact between sessions. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue when schedules or locations change.
