About Sarah

Sarah Cattermole works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and coaching. She uses a blend of person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years' experience in counselling practice.

Sarah offers straightforward, conversational sessions where clients talk through what is happening now. She focuses on practical ways to manage distress and on understanding patterns of thought and behaviour that get in the way. Sessions are collaborative and paced according to what each person can manage.

Her clinical background includes a 2:1 degree in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University. She also holds CPCAB level 4 and level 5 counselling qualifications and is working towards BACP accreditation while being a BACP member.

In sessions she commonly uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive-behavioural techniques and elements of mindfulness. That means space to talk, alongside simple exercises to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and to build different ways of coping.

Sarah accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options available by using the site's booking flow described below.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred therapy is based on giving people space to talk and feel heard. The counsellor listens without directing and helps clients find their own solutions, which can suit issues like grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to distress. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavioural experiments to see what changes help with anxiety, depression or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person's needs and what they want to get from counselling.

Session formats are not outlined in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into a busy life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or offering a session without being on camera. These practical benefits help many people maintain continuity of support while juggling other commitments.
