About Sarah
Sarah Labbett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and a wide range of life changes. Sarah takes a respectful and compassionate approach to meetings and aims to make the first step feel manageable.
Sarah uses straightforward conversations to understand what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns in feelings and behaviour and helps clients try different ways of responding.
How Sarah works
Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection about past experiences when that is helpful. Her work includes support for grief, self-esteem concerns, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses areas such as attachment struggles, communication problems, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
Sarah offers approaches that suit different problems and personalities rather than one fixed method. Sarah draws on client-centred work to keep the client’s perspective central. She combines this with cognitive behavioural ideas for coping strategies and mindfulness tools to manage strong emotions.
She also uses psychodynamic thinking when exploring how past patterns affect current life. People who look for a direct, compassionate and practical counsellor may find her style helpful. Sarah aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs and goals, and to make progress in ways that are realistic for everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred therapy keeps the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It involves open listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you make choices that feel right. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to be heard and to explore what matters most.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of acting. It gives practical tools and short exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change day-to-day reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with emotional regulation and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss aims, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how they suit your needs and preferences. This collaborative way helps match methods to the problems you want to address.
Online therapy with video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat can work well for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or when you want more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
