About Sarah

Sarah Cattermole is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, depression, relationship strain, career questions, family issues, trauma and abuse, and big life changes. She uses a client-focused approach and aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. Sarah speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sarah combines talking therapy with practical techniques. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practical steps to change them.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She presents as approachable and encourages people to set their own goals for therapy. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed programme.

Sarah trained in psychology, with a 2:1 degree from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University. She also completed counselling qualifications at CPCAB levels 4 and 5 and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

With three years of professional experience, Sarah offers a mixture of supportive listening and practical tools. She asks about what matters most to the client and works together to build manageable steps forward.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. It involves the counsellor listening without judgement, reflecting back what they hear, and helping the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers simple exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something fits. That means sessions can be adapted over time to match changing needs and priorities.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please check current session options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can make it easier to have a shorter check-in during a break, or to choose quieter surroundings and avoid camera use when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of talking and practical exercises that transfer well to remote sessions.
