Online Counselling & Psychotherapy

Sarah works with high-performing, action-oriented individuals who often set very high standards for themselves. For these clients, stress, overwhelm, and self-criticism can build up despite their best efforts. Through a supportive, integrative approach, she helps clients step back, understand the patterns driving their stress, and develop practical, sustainable strategies to feel more balanced and in control. Her practice combines the structure of CBT with a person-centered core, mindfulness-based techniques, creative therapies, and somatic work, tailored to the unique needs of each client.

My Integrative Approach

At the core of my practice is a person-centered approach, which ensures your experiences are heard and valued. Depending on your needs, I integrate:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns.
  • Mindfulness-Based CBT: To cultivate awareness, presence, and calm in daily life.
  • Psychotherapy / Psychodynamic Work: To explore deep-seated patterns, early experiences, and emotional processing in a safe therapeutic relationship.
  • Schema Therapy: To identify and transform enduring patterns or beliefs that impact your relationships and well-being.
  • Values & Core Work: To clarify your core values, guide meaningful choices, and align daily actions with what matters most.
  • Creative Therapies: Art, writing, or expressive approaches to explore emotions safely.
  • Somatic & Breathwork: To regulate the nervous system and release tension stored in the body.

Counselling vs. Psychotherapy

Counselling and psychotherapy often overlap, but they serve different goals:

  • Online Counselling: Short-term, practical support for specific challenges, including stress management and work-life balance.
  • Online Psychotherapy: Longer-term exploration of thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors for deep, lasting change.
