About Sarah
Sarah Dunn works with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses an evidence-based approach and has 3 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sarah frames the client as the expert in their own story. She looks for practical ways to build on existing strengths and to reduce problems that feel overwhelming. Sessions involve talking through specific concerns, reflecting on patterns, and trying small changes between meetings to test what helps.
Her work covers both immediate difficulties and longer standing problems. That includes things such as body image and eating-related issues, drug and alcohol concerns, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. She also supports people facing workplace strain, social anxiety, isolation, and the emotional effects of pregnancy and childbirth.
Sarah has particular experience with recovery after sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, and communication problems within families. She also helps with forgiveness and the challenges men sometimes raise in counselling. Her practice addresses young adult issues and the life transitions that bring stress and uncertainty.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sarah does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and remote counselling
Sarah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable progress. One approach involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding; this helps with anxiety, social fears and low mood. Another approach works with trauma-related symptoms by helping people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences, so the method can be adjusted as issues change. This is a collaborative process where different techniques may be tried and reviewed.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or study, avoiding travel time, and having appointments that suit a daily routine. The exact session formats available are not specified here, so check the current options before booking. The focus is on making therapy manageable within everyday life and on finding ways to apply what is learned between sessions.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
