About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years of experience. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space for people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or disconnected. She encourages brave steps and practical change rather than sticking with feelings that hold someone back.
Sarah uses a blend of approaches to meet each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. She describes herself as professional, empathic and friendly, and aims to help people find solutions that let them move forward. She works in a welcoming atmosphere where honesty is respected and goals are practical.
Her background includes many years working across private and public settings. Sarah is a Person Centred counsellor and an integrative therapist who uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among other methods, to support positive change. She is a registered member of the BACP, follows its ethical framework, and takes part in ongoing supervision and professional development.
People bring many concerns to her, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger.

In sessions Sarah aims to listen carefully, reduce shame, and help people build small, achievable steps. She supports exploration of difficult memories and current challenges, while helping clients develop practical coping strategies and clearer personal goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to identify what matters most so small meaningful actions can follow. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise different coping strategies that reduce symptoms in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means plans can change as understanding grows and progress is reviewed.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and can work around work or family schedules. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, can help tailor session length and focus so therapy matches everyday life.
