Sallie Edwards

Sallie Edwards is a counsellor who helps people who are feeling stressed, angry, anxious or low. She works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way so clients can talk openly about what matters to them. Sallie aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of difficult emotions.

She draws on person-centred ideas to make the relationship the main focus of sessions. That means Sallie listens closely and follows the person's pace. She also uses practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to find calmer ways of responding to triggers.

Psychodynamic ideas are included too, helping people look at how earlier experiences might still shape feelings and behaviour today. Sallie combines these methods to fit each person rather than using a fixed formula. Sessions often involve talking things through, noticing patterns, and trying small, practical changes.

Sallie has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has personal experience supporting an autistic daughter and understands the challenges that can bring for parents and carers.

People come to her with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns and anger. She encourages a gentle, curious approach so clients can find what helps them move forward.

How Sallie's approaches work online

Sallie uses person-centred work to prioritise the relationship in sessions. That means she listens closely, follows what the client brings, and helps people feel understood so they can speak more freely. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practise different ways of responding to stress and anger in daily life. Psychodynamic ideas are brought in to gently explore how past experiences might influence current feelings and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sallie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use and will adjust them as goals and needs change. That joint planning helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable rather than prescribed.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family, work and other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and give flexibility if travel or childcare would otherwise be a barrier. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and discussions for remote sessions so people still make steady progress.
