About Sarah
Sarah Boston helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression using a client-centred way of working. They support people with trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, and concerns linked to cancer, hospice and end-of-life care, and sexuality. Sarah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in practice.
Sarah uses a client-centred style that focuses on how each person experiences their situation. Sessions are built around what the person wants to talk about, with the counsellor reflecting and listening to help clarify feelings and goals. Conversations move at a pace set by the client and aim to make difficult topics easier to talk through.
In practice, Sarah helps people work through practical problems and emotional reactions. They will often summarise how someone is feeling and check that the approach is useful. This can help people spot patterns in their thinking and behaviour and decide on small, realistic steps forward.
Sarah has worked in the United Kingdom for three years and brings experience of supporting people facing serious illness and bereavement. They also have a focus on LGBT matters and sexuality, helping clients address related stress and identity concerns.
Sessions start with a short assessment so the counsellor can understand what matters most to the client. From there Sarah and the client agree how to proceed, reviewing progress as they go. The emphasis is on clear communication and practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties.
How client-centred counselling works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client's priorities. This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, grief, stress and identity concerns because it focuses on the person's own goals and feelings rather than imposing a set plan.
Working in this way online means the counsellor and client decide together how sessions should run. The process includes an initial conversation to understand needs, then regular reviews to check that the approach feels helpful. Sarah will work collaboratively to adjust the way of working as needs and goals change.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work or caregiving and the ability to join from different locations, including from abroad since international clients are accepted. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Overall, online counselling can make it simpler to fit regular sessions into daily life while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
