About Sarah

Sarah Stewart draws on client-centred and experiential ways of working to help people feel heard and understood. She uses practical psychotherapy methods so conversations stay focused and useful. Sarah is approachable and direct, keeping sessions warm and non-judgemental.

She helps people talk through stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those facing relationship and family problems, issues with self-esteem, body image and eating, and people coping with trauma or abuse.

Background and approach

Other areas she works with include anger, attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, and struggles linked to alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. In sessions Sarah often brings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques alongside somatic work that looks at how the body holds stress.

She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to gently map the different parts of a person and how they relate to each other. This mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs in the moment. Sarah trained in psychology and psychotherapy and holds BACP accreditation.

She draws on knowledge of development, physiology and behaviour when explaining why patterns repeat and how change can be made. Therapy with Sarah is collaborative. She will invite clients to notice patterns, try small experiments between sessions and decide on practical steps together.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone or live messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes because it focuses on what matters rather than trying to remove every unwanted feeling.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which prioritises a warm, non-judgemental relationship and helps people feel understood. This approach supports exploration of self-esteem, identity and relationship concerns through steady, empathetic listening.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions can adapt over time if something isn’t working, so the client helps shape the plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and body language, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports focused exchanges and text sessions suit short check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
