About Sarah

Sarah Leppard is a UK counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and major life changes. Sarah also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and issues around addiction, sleep and eating.

In sessions she uses conversational, person-centred methods that focus on the client's own experience. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen for what matters most to the individual. Narrative Therapy helps people make sense of difficult events by looking at the stories they tell about themselves.

Sarah also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and solution-focused tools when clients want brief, practical steps to try between sessions. She aims to blend these approaches so discussions stay relevant to immediate problems and longer-standing patterns alike.

People contact her when they feel stuck after a relationship change, job loss, health issue or bereavement. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, identifying small experiments to try, and reflecting on repeated patterns that influence mood and choices.

She offers appointments in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Sarah's approaches translate to online work

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the client's experience and preferences, helping people clarify what matters most to them and what they want to change. Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to open up different ways of framing difficult events and identity questions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals and try different ways of working to see what fits best. The client and therapist agree on practical steps, and revisit how those steps feel and whether a different emphasis would help.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments. If you need to plan around work, health appointments or caregiving, online options can make scheduling simpler. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking to ensure they fit your daily routine.
