About Sarah

Sarah King works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, anxiety and related issues using a person-centred approach. She is registered with NCPS and has five years of counselling experience. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Sarah is a person-centred, therapeutic counsellor who works with adults and young people aged 18 and above. She supports people facing low mood, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, and trauma responses. She has experience with survivors of abuse and sexual assault. She describes her practice as inclusive, neurodivergent aware and gender affirming.

Her work focuses on listening and reflecting rather than giving advice. She keeps the client's own feelings, experience and needs at the centre of sessions. She may suggest short reflective exercises or offer psycho-educational information to use between meetings, always without obligation.

Sarah aims to help people understand what matters to them and to reduce the sense of isolation that often comes with distress. She describes counselling as a process of gaining clarity and greater self-understanding rather than a quick fix. She supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and career pressures.

Additional areas she has worked with include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in the person-centred model, with practical options offered when useful.

How person-centred work translates to online counselling

Person-centred counselling focuses on the client's own experience. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client's lead rather than directing the session. This approach can help with relationship issues, grief, anxiety and processing trauma responses by making room for the client's feelings and priorities.

Client-centred techniques often include reflective listening and offering simple exercises or psycho-educational information between sessions. These tools aim to increase self-understanding and support coping with life changes, parenting pressures, or stress related to work and caregiving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, needs and preferences and agree a way of working that suits the individual. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the sessions progress.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It also lets people access a counsellor who practises the person-centred model even if they live far apart.
