Sarah Greenwood, BACP

Sarah Greenwood is a compassionate, professional therapist with 17 years of practice supporting people through life’s most difficult moments. She offers a welcoming, non-judgemental space where adults, young people and children can explore anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and relationship concerns, as well as a wide range of issues including stress, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her approach combines person-centred values with evidence-based techniques to help clients find practical ways to move forward.

She is a qualified Person Centred Counsellor and an integrative therapist who regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support positive change. Sarah is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to a professional ethical framework and continuing professional development. She also holds an enhanced DBS check and maintains regular clinical supervision.

Across the past decade and more Sarah has worked in both private and public settings, helping people manage symptoms such as panic attacks, isolation, self-harm thoughts and addictive behaviours, and addressing complex themes like attachment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics. She strives to work collaboratively with clients to explore difficult or distressing topics and to identify practical, sustainable steps toward greater wellbeing.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Sarah Greenwood integrates several evidence-informed approaches that adapt effectively to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and on developing practical skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression and insomnia; it often involves structured exercises and collaborative homework.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the individual’s perspective, offering empathic listening and acceptance so people can explore feelings and build self-understanding; this approach supports issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections, making it useful for attachment issues, relationship difficulties and some trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, needs and preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses. Registered professionals aim to tailor pace and style to what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit around work, family and mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home, and continue work between sessions when helpful.
