Sally Humphreys, BACP

Sally Humphreys is a fully qualified, person-centred therapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes professional membership with a UK counselling body. With nine years of practice, she combines an empathetic, gentle style with ongoing professional development, regularly updating her skills through courses and reading.

Sally works both face to face and online, and is able to support clients who are based abroad while maintaining a practice that is established in the United Kingdom. Her contract is written under English and Welsh law and her practice operates within the UK jurisdiction. She maintains a private practice in Corby, volunteers as a counsellor with Northamptonshire Rape Crisis (NRC), and facilitates a monthly bereavement support group in Kettering. Her experience also includes bereavement counselling within NHS Child Services for students aged 11 and over in schools.

She supports people through a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and LGBT matters. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment and communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, infidelity, and body image worries. Sally aims to create a non-judgemental, safe space where clients can explore their experiences. She offers flexible session arrangements and encourages prospective clients to make contact to discuss availability and mutual fit.

Client-Centred and Trauma-Focused Support Online

Sally uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s perspective leads the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting personal growth, and it can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and relationship challenges.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past traumatic experiences are central to a person’s distress. This approach helps people understand how trauma affects emotions, behaviour, and relationships, and supports processing those experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sally works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support from different locations. For many people, remote sessions offer flexibility in scheduling, the ability to continue work while travelling or living abroad, and multiple ways to communicate depending on comfort and practical needs. Registered professionals like Sally can provide these formats to help clients engage in meaningful therapeutic work.
