About Sarah
Sarah Beardsley supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, work pressures and issues linked to identity such as LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria. She also helps those dealing with self-esteem, parenting challenges, career decisions and neurodiversity-related concerns including ADHD and autism. Sarah is based in the United Kingdom and works from a person-focused perspective.
Sarah holds BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience. She uses a client-centred approach, so sessions focus on the person rather than on a fixed method. Conversations are shaped around what matters to the individual and move at a pace that feels comfortable.
In practice she listens first and then helps people think through options. Sessions aim to build clarity about feelings, patterns and practical next steps. Many people come with trouble sleeping, overwhelm at work, or difficulty managing family roles, and Sarah helps them find manageable changes.
She tailors each session to the person’s needs and priorities. That can mean focusing on coping skills one week and on feelings about identity or grief the next. The work is collaborative - the person and therapist plan what to try and review progress together.
People interested in starting are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged based on the therapist’s availability and the subscription terms that apply.
How client-centred care works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what is said and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship worries and workplace stress because it focuses on the individual’s priorities and pace.The right approach often evolves during the first few sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify the best way forward based on needs, goals and preferences. That may mean exploring feelings, trying practical coping strategies for stress, or focusing on identity and life changes together.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins around work commitments. If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. The therapist will work with you to schedule sessions that fit your routine and to agree how the sessions will best support your goals.
