About Sarah
Sarah Waterstone offers straightforward, empathetic counselling for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She makes the first session a simple conversation about what brought you here and what you hope to change. Sarah aims to create a calm space where people can talk and begin to make sense of difficult feelings.
She uses a client-centred approach, which means the person is at the heart of the work.
How Sarah works
Sessions focus on building self-awareness and uncovering the personal values and strengths someone already has. Sarah listens closely, reflects what she hears and gently challenges unhelpful patterns when it helps progress. Common issues she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem.
She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting questions, addiction concerns, eating difficulties and coping with life changes. Sarah has an additional focus on ageing and geriatric issues. Sarah has four years of practice and holds BACP accreditation.
She follows the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists standards, keeps up with training and receives regular supervision. This helps her stay thoughtful and professional in her work. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.
People can expect clear, respectful feedback and practical steps to try between meetings. The aim is to leave each session feeling a little clearer and better able to manage the next step.

Online support options
Client-centred care online and how it helps
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and supports someone to find their own answers. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and major life changes where understanding personal values matters.Sarah’s way of working also emphasises building self-awareness and practical next steps. Together the client and counsellor explore feelings and patterns, then agree simple actions to try between sessions. This collaborative process helps tailor the approach to each person’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or mobility constraints.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and the therapist will help decide what fits best. Discussions about goals, pace and format happen together so the plan reflects what a person needs and can manage.
