About Sarah

Sarah Stewart offers a person-centred, experiential approach that aims to make people feel heard and respected. She creates a calm space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Sarah uses simple, practical conversation rather than judgement.

She makes the work collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. Sarah brings four years of clinical experience to her practice and holds BACP accreditation.

How Sarah works

She trained in psychology and psychotherapy, so she draws on knowledge of how development, physiology and behaviour affect mental health. That background helps when talking through attachment concerns, abandonment feelings, dissociation or family of origin problems. Her therapy often combines inside-out exploration with grounded body awareness.

She sometimes uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people live alongside difficult thoughts. Cognitive behavioural tools may be introduced to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Internal Family Systems ideas are used when people want to understand different parts of themselves.

Sessions are warm and non-judgemental, with gentle challenge when needed. Sarah aims to help people notice patterns, practise new ways of relating to themselves and others, and make clearer choices. She also supports people exploring BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, body image and codependency concerns.

All work is offered online by video, phone and live messaging. Sarah encourages clients to bring their goals and questions so the work can be shaped around what matters most to them.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a warm, accepting relationship so people can explore their experiences at their own pace and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers straightforward strategies to test and change those patterns, which can help with depression and unhelpful worry.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sarah works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She may introduce ACT exercises, cognitive techniques or somatic awareness gradually and checks in to see what feels helpful.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions remove the need for a camera and can be easier to schedule during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or sessions without being on camera. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on meaningful therapeutic work.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
