About Sarah

Sarah Lambert MA is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience and a master’s degree in Clinical Counselling awarded with distinction. She lists life purpose among the concerns she works with, and helps people who are questioning what comes next after change.

Sarah works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and eating and body-image problems. She also offers support around attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and identity and sexuality matters. She mentions autism and Asperger syndrome among the areas she addresses.

Her stated approach places the client’s experience at the centre. Sessions focus on hearing what matters most to the person, naming difficult feelings and making small, practical steps forward. Solution-Focused ideas are used to identify what is already working and to build on those strengths.

In practice Sarah aims to create time to talk through painful memories, coping patterns and relationship difficulties. She also uses client-centred listening to follow what the client brings to a session rather than forcing a set agenda. Practical coping strategies and short-term goal-setting may be part of the work when that fits the client’s aims.

People who feel stuck after a change in work, relationship or health can expect straightforward discussion about options and barriers. The early sessions usually focus on what the person wants to be different and on small steps to test out new approaches.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and following what the client brings. It helps people who need to speak about painful feelings, identity questions, or relationship matters and want a counsellor who reflects their experience back without imposing an agenda.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and what already works. It is useful for people who want to try practical changes, test new approaches and measure small improvements over time.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then decide collaboratively whether longer conversational sessions or brief solution-focused meetings fit best.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into busy days and fewer travel demands. If you need shorter check-ins or prefer not to be on camera, discuss that when booking. Confirm the specific session formats available before you schedule so you know which options are offered.
