Sarah Dinenage , BACP

Sarah Dinenage is a registered psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience in both organisational settings and private practice. She is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a compassionate, conversational style to work with people facing depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns.

Sarah helps clients explore how current struggles often link back to early life experiences and attachment patterns, paying close attention to both spoken concerns and the feelings that lie beneath the surface. Her approach supports people in making sense of repeating relational patterns, understanding how the past shapes present choices, and developing clearer self-awareness so everyday life becomes more manageable.

Sessions are conducted in a manner that balances professional skill with warmth and occasional humour, fostering a working relationship built on trust and realism rather than formality. Therapy with Sarah focuses on uncovering what drives and maintains difficulties, so problems have less impact on daily living. She encourages people not to cope alone and invites prospective clients to get in touch to begin a thoughtful, collaborative journey toward greater clarity and wellbeing.

Attachment and Psychodynamic Approaches in Online Therapy

Sarah uses attachment-based work to explore how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional patterns. This approach helps people understand difficulties with intimacy, abandonment fears, or repeated relational cycles by tracing how past attachments affect present behaviour.

She also draws on psychodynamic listening to uncover deeper, often hidden drivers of distress - patterns formed in childhood that continue to shape thoughts, emotions, and interactions. This type of work is helpful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or long-standing relational problems who want to understand the roots of their experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, reviewing progress and adapting the plan as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access regular appointments, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
