About Sarah
Sarah Boston is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. They work with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and with those dealing with trauma, abuse and LGBT concerns. Sarah also supports people affected by cancer and those needing end of life and hospice conversations, and they are comfortable talking about matters related to sexuality.
Sarah uses a client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week. The counsellor listens and follows the pace set by the client rather than imposing a fixed agenda.
Practical problems and strong emotions are explored together. Sarah helps people name feelings and consider how they cope day to day. Where grief or loss is involved, sessions can include space to talk about practical worries and the emotional impact.
Sessions are built around respectful conversation. Sarah aims to be direct and clear about what happens in a meeting and what to expect next. That includes discussing how to work together and what kind of changes a person hopes to make.
Sarah accepts people from outside the UK as well as within the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English. Before booking, people are asked to confirm the current session options and practical arrangements.
How client-centred counselling works online
Client-centred therapy is about the person’s own experience. The therapist listens without judging and reflects back what is said. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through low mood, anxiety or reactions to trauma and loss.In sessions that focus on grief or serious illness, the counsellor gives time to both practical worries and the emotional side. Conversations can cover what feels difficult now and what helps a person cope day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which ways of working feel most helpful and make adjustments as they go.
Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these options to help people find counselling that fits their life.
