About Sarah Charney
Sarah Charney is an experienced psychotherapist accredited with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She combines evidence-informed interventions with a compassionate, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Her work often focuses on exploring how entrenched patterns of thinking and coping - many learned in childhood or formed after difficult life events - influence emotions and behaviour, and on identifying practical strategies for change.
Drawing on a broad clinical toolkit, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, Attachment-Based approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She has completed advanced training that includes diploma-level work in CBT, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), DBT, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), ACT, and Schema therapy, and she can also offer trauma stabilisation work when required.
Sarah trained and worked within a clinical NHS setting alongside a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, counsellors, and psychiatrists, and she has experience supporting adults in private practice, NHS services, and workplace environments. She holds two master’s degrees - including an MSc in Counselling Psychology - and brings that clinical and occupational psychology background to address both personal and work-related concerns. Sessions aim to provide a motivating, nonjudgmental environment where insight, self-care, and practical change can be achieved, whether the focus is symptom relief, interpersonal growth, or rebuilding after loss. Sarah is based in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English.
