Sarah Mayberry, BACP

Sarah Mayberry is an integrative counsellor who offers compassionate, client-focused support to both adults and teenagers. She combines Person-Centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas to shape each session around the person in front of her, helping clients move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work, aiming to create a non-judgemental space where thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be explored openly. The Person-Centred approach ensures clients feel heard and understood, CBT supports identification and gentle challenge of unhelpful thinking patterns, and psychodynamic thinking helps illuminate how early experiences may influence current difficulties.

Sarah works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem and body image issues, as well as challenges around attachment, communication, control, divorce and separation, guilt, shame, loneliness and bereavement. She brings warmth, curiosity and practical insight to support clients in making sense of their situation and building greater resilience.

She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and delivers therapy fully online with flexible appointments in daytime, evenings and weekends to fit busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online therapy

Sarah commonly blends Person-Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to offer flexible online support. Person-Centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients find their own solutions - it can be especially helpful for building self-worth, improving relationships and working through life transitions. CBT is a practical, goal-focused approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Psychodynamic work explores patterns that may originate in early relationships, offering insight into recurring relationship and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each client to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments and allows people to engage from their own environment. Registered professionals like Sarah can tailor session formats to suit what feels most comfortable and accessible for each client.
