About Sarah

Sarah Beardsley is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and struggles around self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, autism, eating and relationship issues, and LGBT concerns. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.

She uses a client-centred approach, meeting each person where they are and shaping sessions to your needs. That means conversations focus on your priorities and pace. Sarah aims to offer a respectful, compassionate space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

Over five years she has worked with people managing loss, parental alienation, motivation problems and specific learning differences such as dyslexia and dyspraxia. She also supports those coping with chronic health challenges, caregiver stress and issues around gender identity. Sarah tries to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and then helps clients find ways to move forward. This can include working on behaviour, communication or self-management strategies. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on what is and isn't helpful.

Clients begin by sharing what brought them to therapy and then they shape goals together. Sarah accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

Client-centred work and how it fits online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. The counsellor offers an accepting, non-judgemental stance and follows your goals. This approach helps when the main need is to feel understood and to explore choices around life changes, relationships and self-worth.

In practice the therapist will collaborate with you to find the right way of working. That means discussing what feels helpful, trying different ways of talking about problems, and agreeing goals together. Finding the best approach is part of the work and will be shaped by your needs, preferences and what you want to achieve.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives, for example fitting a session into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins if that suits your schedule, or phone conversations when video would use too much bandwidth. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
