About Sarah

Sarah Labbett is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience and BACP accreditation. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Sarah aims to make the first step easier for people who feel worried or stuck.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with sleeping and eating problems, parenting strain, career worries and coping with big life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, blended family issues and communication problems.

Sarah uses tried approaches that suit different kinds of problems. She draws on Client-Centred ideas to build a supportive space and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle thoughts and behaviours that get in the way. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when helpful to find small, practical steps forward.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. Conversations are tailored to each person, and she works at a pace that feels comfortable. Sarah aims to listen carefully, help people make sense of difficult feelings, and agree realistic next steps together.

If someone wants to start, they complete the site questionnaire and arrange sessions based on Sarah's schedule. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sarah blends therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship, giving people space to talk through what matters and to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining listening and exploration with hands-on CBT exercises or short solution-focused tasks to achieve clear change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to sustain regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Please confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your day-to-day life.
