About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years' experience supporting people through hard times. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a calm, empathic manner to sessions. She offers video, phone, live chat and text-based options so people can choose what feels easiest for them.
Sarah takes a straightforward, person-centred approach. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way.
How Sarah works
Practical exercises and thinking-work are used when helpful, and sessions are paced to the person rather than a fixed model. Many people come for anxiety, stress, low mood or trouble coping with change. Sarah also works with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem and relationship issues, and a range of concerns such as eating, sleeping, parenting and career stress.
Her wider focus includes attention to attachment-related difficulties and complex situations like chronic illness and caring roles. Sessions aim to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Conversations look at what matters to the person, how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings, and small changes that can reduce distress.
Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas alongside client-centred listening. She maintains regular supervision and ongoing professional development. People who prefer remote options can work with her by arranging video calls, phone sessions, live chat or messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then a session is scheduled according to availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and connect with what matters to them. It supports working through avoidance and building a values-led life, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions shape one another. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift patterns that keep problems going, often helping with panic, worry and sleep difficulties.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotions and improving how people relate to themselves and others. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns and deep emotional pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and make recommendations together. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as needs change over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or messaging to suit different situations. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day life.
