About Sarah
Counsellor Sarah Leppard is a member of the BACP with five years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and career concerns, and helps people cope with life changes and loss.
Sarah focuses on practical conversation. She listens to the problem and the context around it. Sessions centre on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She uses plain language and short-term aims where helpful.
Her approach draws on client-centred and narrative ideas. That means the dialogue follows the person's concerns and the stories that shape how they see things. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to notice repeating patterns, and solution-focused work to set clear, manageable steps.
People consult her about relationships, parenting stresses, grief, addiction and burnout from caring roles. She also works with issues such as anger, eating and sleeping problems, trauma, and ADHD-related struggles. Sarah takes a straightforward style and helps people find practical ways forward.
Sessions are arranged through the site process. The first steps include a short questionnaire and a scheduled first meeting. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist reflects what is said and follows the client's pace, helping people feel heard and make their own decisions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate problems from identity and can change how situations are understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss different methods with the client and agree on what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where goals and practical steps are set together based on the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or fitting a session into a work break. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a person's schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer a mix of arrangements, so check the booking flow for current options.
