About Sarah

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and career worries. Sarah works with issues like grief, relationship difficulties and coping with major life changes. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Sarah adapts conversations to fit individual needs and priorities. She helps people talk through what matters to them and identify small steps they can take. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting strains and problems with eating or sleeping.

People seek her support for intense emotions such as anger, guilt or shame, and for practical strains like caregiver stress, chronic illness or fertility worries. She also addresses often-overlooked problems such as feelings of emptiness, dissociation and issues tied to blended family dynamics.

Sarah uses approaches that centre the person and their story, including client-centred and narrative ways of working. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused strategies to help people find clarity and forward movement. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical, not prescriptive.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. If you are thinking about therapy, she encourages a first step of a short matching process to see if the fit feels right.

How Sarah's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the conversation and focuses on listening, reflection and supporting personal choices. It is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from identity so people can discover alternate stories and new possibilities, which can help with grief, trauma and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah works collaboratively to identify what fits best for each person, matching methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying different ways of talking and checking in about what helps as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from their chosen location. It can also be more convenient for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video. The specific session options should be confirmed before booking so you know what formats are offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to support ongoing change while balancing everyday life commitments.
