About Sarah
Sarah Nelson offers a client-centred way of working that aims to put people at the heart of the conversation. She draws on solution-focused ideas to help people set clear goals and take small, practical steps. Sarah uses simple, plain language and a warm manner to make it easier to talk about difficult things.
Sarah listens without judgement and supports people to find their own answers. Sessions move at the person’s pace and focus on what matters most right now.
How Sarah works
This approach can help with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. She has five years of experience and holds professional credentials with BACP and NCPS. Her background includes training in person-centred work and solution-focused practice, plus additional certificates in remote counselling and supporting autistic clients.
That practical training informs how sessions are organised and how goals are set. People come for help with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career questions and ADHD. Sarah aims to make each session straightforward, focusing on helpful next steps rather than complex jargon.
Starting often begins with a short conversation to identify priorities and agree how to work together. Sarah encourages honest talk and small experiments between sessions so progress can be checked and revised as needed.

Online support options
How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard, and supports the person to make decisions that fit their values and life. This approach suits people who need space to understand feelings and decide what matters next.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, practical steps that move a person towards clear goals. Sessions often focus on what is already working and on building simple strategies that can be tried between meetings. It can be helpful for stress, relationship issues and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be explored together. The counsellor will talk through options, try things out, and adjust based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor the work to each situation.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face interaction, phone can be useful when bandwidth is lower, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
