About Sarah
Sarah Lacey is a counsellor who bases her work on client-centred principles. She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. Her aim is to help people access those strengths and try practical steps that feel manageable.
She draws on approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred listening. This mix helps with stress, anxiety and low mood by combining straightforward tools with time to be heard.
Sarah has 22 years of experience in the United Kingdom and has worked with people facing grief, work-related stress and adjustment difficulties. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and relationship strain. Sessions can focus on improving self-esteem and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Her style is direct but warm. People can expect clear suggestions, small tasks to try between meetings, and time to talk things through. She offers short-term work or brief coaching-style input when that fits the person’s goals.
To begin, clients use the Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability. Sarah notes her working days and common session times so people can plan around work and family commitments.
How client-centred work and practical therapies translate online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection while the person leads the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple exercises to try in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt methods as those needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make using worksheets or shared exercises during a session simpler. Discuss scheduling needs when arranging sessions so the format can fit daily life.
