About Sarah

Sarah Slade helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those facing job-related strain, major life changes and feelings of depression. Sarah keeps sessions straightforward and respectful, aiming to create a calm space to talk through immediate worries and next steps.

Sarah uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s needs and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

02

How Sarah works

Sessions are practical and tailored, with simple tools people can try between meetings. With four years of professional experience, Sarah focuses on building trust and understanding. She emphasises clear communication and works at a pace that suits the individual.

The aim is to help people feel more able to cope and make choices that match their values. Sarah describes herself as respectful, sensitive and compassionate in her approach. She listens carefully and helps people identify small, manageable changes.

This style can suit someone who wants a down-to-earth counsellor who explains ideas plainly. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short questionnaire to match with a therapist, then book sessions to fit their schedule.

Sarah’s practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options

How Sarah’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, follows the person’s priorities and helps them make sense of what matters most. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to set the direction of their work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions can keep problems going. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change them. This mode can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by offering clear techniques to try between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from both approaches as needed.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel are difficult. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who have low bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or a way to reflect in writing between longer appointments. These options increase flexibility and help people access consistent support alongside their other commitments.
