About Sarah

Dr Sarah Enderby helps people work through anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and identity questions. She uses talking therapy informed by attachment, psychodynamic ideas and client-centred practice to understand patterns that cause distress. Dr Enderby is registered with the BACP and has five years' experience as a practising counsellor.

She began her working life in senior roles researching consumer behaviour, and later trained in psychotherapy after a personal experience of therapy prompted a career change. Her background includes an MA, a doctorate, and a diploma in psychodynamic therapy, and she has experience working with Relate in couple counselling settings.

Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now, and how earlier relationships and attachment patterns may shape current problems. Conversations aim to make sense of difficult emotions, such as shame, grief, anger or anxiety, and to clarify options when people face big life decisions.

Dr Enderby often works with clients exploring sexual orientation and identity, and with people from LGBT communities. She also supports those coping with trauma, family of origin issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or work-related stress.

Her approach emphasises collaboration and listening. Practical steps and clearer communication are offered alongside longer-term reflection on recurring relationship patterns and attachment dynamics.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Dr Enderby works from attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life, which can help with intimacy, abandonment and communication issues. She also uses client-centred practice that focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says to help them find their own solutions. The Gottman Method is used for practical relationship work, focusing on communication skills and managing conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree which methods to use. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats suit different practical needs, such as quieter surroundings, less bandwidth or not needing to be on camera, and the counsellor will help match the session type to those needs.
