Sarah Labbett, BACP

Sarah Labbett is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings five years of professional experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with sensitivity and respect, adapting conversations and treatment to each client’s individual situation so therapy feels relevant and practical.

Sarah has a special interest in obsessive thoughts and intrusive thinking and has completed training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to support people working with those challenges. She aims to combine compassionate listening with structured techniques when helpful, so clients can build new ways of managing distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Sarah follows recognised professional standards while offering a collaborative approach to care. She understands that seeking change takes courage and focuses on supporting clients through that process, helping them set goals and develop a tailored plan that fits their needs and pace.

Approaches and Online Support for Everyday Challenges

Sarah works from a blend of client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness approaches. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a supportive space where clients can explore feelings and make choices that fit their values; it is well suited to people wanting understanding and emotional validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, and intrusive thinking. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation, which can support stress management and better sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sarah treats that as a collaborative process. She works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and life context and then adjusts techniques so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy allows clients to access these approaches via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work through transitions or when attending in-person appointments is difficult, while still enabling regular contact and progress toward personal goals.
