About Sarah
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) member. Sarah Cattermole has three years' experience as a counsellor. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, career issues and coping with life changes. Her stated methods include Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Sarah describes her style as friendly and focused on the relationship between counsellor and client. She combines client-centred work with CBT and elements of mindfulness to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions involve talking through current problems, trying small changes in thinking or behaviour, and reflecting on what helps day to day.
She trained in psychology, holding a 2:1 degree from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University. She also completed CPCAB level 4 and level 5 counselling qualifications and is working towards BACP accreditation. BACP is given here as the professional body she belongs to.
In practical terms Sarah helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping strategies, and work through loss or life transition. She uses straightforward CBT techniques alongside person-centred listening and mindfulness practices where useful. Sessions are presented as collaborative; Sarah aims to agree the focus and next steps with each person.

How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel heard and supports them to make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. She will review how an approach is working and adapt the plan together over time.
Practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of support and make scheduling around work or family commitments simpler.
