Sarah King, NCPS

Sarah King is a person-centred counsellor who works with adults and young people aged 18 and over, bringing five years of professional experience to her practice. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional qualification in counselling, and draws on a warm, accepting style to support people facing depression, low mood, anxiety, suicidal thinking, bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, trauma responses, and survivors of abuse and sexual assault.

Sarah practises with an inclusive, gender-affirming outlook and identifies as neurodivergent, which informs her understanding of diverse needs and life experiences. Her approach places the client at the heart of therapy - listening carefully to each person’s reality, feelings and priorities - and she offers a non-judgemental environment where clients can explore difficult emotions and painful memories at their own pace.

Sessions are collaborative and firmly rooted in the person-centred model, with Sarah sometimes offering reflective exercises and psycho-educational material to support learning between meetings. These resources are optional and are offered to empower clients rather than direct or prescribe outcomes.

Rather than providing answers or advice, Sarah aims to walk alongside clients to help them gain clarity, strengthen self-awareness and improve relationships. She supports people navigating grief, family and parenting challenges, intimacy and attachment issues, career stress, compassion fatigue and a wide range of emotional struggles, always respecting each person’s autonomy and personal journey.

Person-Centred Care and Flexible Online Therapy

Sarah King primarily works from a client-centred perspective, which focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach helps people explore feelings, improve self-understanding and make changes that reflect their own values, and it is often helpful for depression, anxiety, relationship and attachment concerns.

In addition to the person-centred framework, Sarah offers reflective exercises and psycho-educational information when useful. Reflective exercises encourage self-exploration and insight between sessions, while psycho-education helps clients better understand common responses to trauma, grief and stress so they can make informed choices about coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. She supports clients in choosing techniques and pacing that feel manageable and respectful of their circumstances.

Online therapy with Sarah is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for people living outside her local area. Working online makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access registered professionals from different locations and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
