Sarah Howell, BACP

Sarah is a qualified therapist based in the United Kingdom who works with people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds. She has provided counselling in charity settings and in private practice, developing experience with issues such as low mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sexual abuse, past trauma, addiction, grief, and low self-esteem.

Her work draws on a combination of solution-focused methods, client-centered principles, and cognitive behavioral ideas. She approaches each person as an individual and aims to build a collaborative partnership that helps clients recognise strengths and set achievable goals.

Sessions are practical and oriented toward the client’s priorities, with Sarah offering support to help people move forward at a pace that suits them. She is available to counsel remotely via video, email, and instant messenger, and she tailors the way she works to the needs presented in each session.

Approaches Sarah Uses and How They Work Online

Sarah draws on solution-focused, client-centered, and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide online therapy. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and clear goals - it emphasizes what a client wants to achieve and builds small, achievable changes to reach those outcomes. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre, offering empathic listening and support so people can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and helps people develop coping strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person, discussing needs, goals, and preferences to determine which methods to use and adapting them as the work progresses. Registered professionals such as therapists often blend approaches to suit the individual.

Online therapy with Sarah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
