About Sarah
Sarah Dunn is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress, anxiety, family matters, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sarah aims to help people find practical ways forward and to build on the strengths they already have.
She sees clients as the experts in their own lives and values what each person brings to the room. Sessions concentrate on what feels most useful right now, whether that is managing anxiety, working through difficult events, or improving confidence. Sarah offers calm, straightforward support and encourages small steps that can make a real difference.
In practice she listens closely to each person’s story and helps to identify patterns that may be holding them back. Conversations often include looking at day-to-day routines, problem solving, and practising ways to cope with stress. The aim is to leave people with tools they can use between sessions.
Sarah has worked with a range of concerns including body image, communication problems, addiction, eating and food-related issues, obsessional difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and workplace challenges. She also supports people dealing with pregnancy and childbirth related difficulties, sexual assault and abuse, loneliness, and young adult issues.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She invites people to set goals together and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.
Approaches that guide online work
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach involves building skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as learning ways to notice and respond differently to unhelpful thoughts and to practise calming activities that suit daily life. This can help when worry or tension is getting in the way of work or relationships.Another approach centres on processing difficult events and their effects. This involves talking through what happened, identifying how it still affects thinking and routine, and finding manageable ways to reduce its hold over day-to-day life. It can be useful for people experiencing trauma-related reactions or ongoing fear and avoidance.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then test what helps most. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity between appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is needed or quieter, longer sessions when more space is required.
