Sarah Trent, BACP

Sarah Trent trained at the University of Warwick, earning a BA (Hons) in counselling and psychotherapy, and she works as a counsellor, psychotherapist and health and wellbeing coach. She brings practical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation and confidence. With six years of practice, she focuses on creating a respectful and compassionate space where clients can explore their concerns and build new ways of coping.

Sarah offers person-centred therapy that is tailored to each individual, adapting to personal needs and priorities rather than following a one-size-fits-all template. She aims to empower clients to identify goals, develop resilience and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable. In addition to her therapeutic work, she applies principles from health and wellbeing coaching to support practical steps toward improved daily functioning and motivation.

She holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Sarah approaches each client with sensitivity and respect, and she is committed to supporting and encouraging people who are taking the courageous step to seek a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Person-centred care and coaching delivered online

Sarah primarily works using person-centred therapy, an approach that focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is well suited to issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and the aftermath of trauma because it prioritises the client’s perspective and pace.

Alongside therapy, Sarah applies health and wellbeing coaching techniques to help clients translate insights into practical changes. Coaching supports goal-setting, motivation and the development of day-to-day routines that reinforce therapeutic progress and improve overall functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She encourages open discussion about what is and is not helping so the plan can be adjusted together.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and overcome geographical barriers. These flexible formats allow clients to access regular support from registered professionals while maintaining a pace and level of contact that suits them.
