About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years' experience supporting people who feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed. She introduces herself plainly and listens first, helping each person to find practical ways forward. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its ethical framework.
Sarah draws on a mix of approaches to meet individual needs. She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and test small changes.
Background and approach
She also brings in acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult feelings and choose what matters to them. Her background includes work across public and personal settings where she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and grief. Over the years she has worked with people managing long-term health problems, parenting stresses, career pressures and relationship concerns.
She also helps with self-esteem, sleep and eating worries. In sessions Sarah aims for a calm, non-judgemental tone. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth.
She encourages slow steps, homework tasks that fit daily life, and checking progress together. People describing themselves as LGBT or those living with neurodiverse traits such as autism and Asperger Syndrome can find her approach welcoming. She also offers support around abandonment, attachment issues and blended family challenges.
Her practice includes regular supervision and continuing professional development. Sessions can be arranged online by following the site's booking process and matching questionnaire.

Online support
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and adapt methods together. That collaborative decision helps shape a plan people can try and adjust over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging which make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and energy levels.
