About Sarah Smith

Sarah Smith is a qualified and registered counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings experience from earlier roles in social care - including work with people with learning disabilities, community care, and older adults - where empowerment and facilitating independent choice were central to her practice.

Since 2018 she has worked exclusively in mental health settings, with time spent in a private trauma clinic and working within the NHS from 2019. This background informs a practical, experience-led approach to supporting people through difficult periods.

Sarah works using a trauma-informed, person-centred counselling model. She believes each person deserves respect and that people are the experts in their own lives. Building a genuine connection is a priority in her work, and she focuses on understanding the real impact of life events rather than on outside expectations of how someone should be.

She supports people at their own pace and collaborates with them to explore difficulties and identify personal solutions. Her areas of experience include depression and anxiety, self-esteem and identity, stress and burnout, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. Additional focuses include guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, self-love, and women's issues.

Sarah emphasizes practical empowerment and compassionate support, offering a space where clients can take steps toward a more fulfilling life with guidance tailored to their needs.

Could remote therapy be a good fit for you?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can bring real benefits. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life changes - online therapy is widely used and can be as effective as traditional in-person care for helping people manage and work through these issues.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. People can connect in the way that feels most comfortable to them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keeps access open when attending in-person appointments is difficult.

Sessions are offered by licensed professionals and therapists who bring clinical training to remote work. If someone decides a different therapeutic match would be better, it is generally possible to switch to another therapist. Considering online therapy involves thinking about personal preferences, practical needs, and which communication method feels most supportive for making progress.
