About Sarah

NCPS. Four years' experience. Sarah Davis works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, addictions, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career questions, depression, ADHD and coping with life changes. She also focuses on abandonment, attachment issues, blended family problems, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and infidelity.

Sarah uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In sessions she listens, reflects, and works collaboratively to identify practical steps and coping skills. The emphasis is on concrete tools people can try between meetings.

She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds the NCPS credential. Over four years she has worked in private practice and with charitable services, including volunteer roles for crisis and suicide prevention. That variety has informed her practical, straightforward style.

Sessions address both short-term problems and longer-standing patterns. Typical work can include managing anxiety and stress, processing grief or trauma, improving communication, and sorting out relationship or family conflicts. Sarah also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions.

People can expect a direct but respectful approach that focuses on identifying strengths and building skills. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them, and on developing practical actions that match those values while learning to allow difficult thoughts and feelings. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand attachment needs, improve intimacy-related issues and address family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It also lets people choose a quieter form of contact if that suits them better, or a shorter check-in session when time is limited. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, as options may vary.
