About Sarah

Sarah Lodge works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, life changes and ADHD. She says people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives, and she uses that as a starting point in sessions. Sarah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has ten years' experience in the field.

In the room she listens for what matters most to each person and helps them find practical ways to cope. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, usable steps that can make daily life easier. She aims to help people build on their existing skills rather than prescribe one fixed method.

Sarah has worked across a variety of settings during her ten years, enabling her to work with a wide range of concerns. That background gives her experience in supporting people through loss, the stress of life changes, and patterns linked to addiction and low mood. She pays attention to how relationships and family issues affect someone’s wellbeing.

Sessions usually look at what is happening now and what can be changed next, while also allowing space to talk about past events that still cause pain. Practical coping strategies and mood-management techniques are often part of the work. The overall aim is to help people manage symptoms, make clearer choices and feel more able to cope with what arises.

People meet Sarah to talk through a specific problem or to get ongoing support while they work through a difficult period. To begin, she asks about the current situation and what someone hopes to change, and then they plan the next steps together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in day-to-day life. One common approach is practical coping work that identifies current patterns and builds small, manageable skills to reduce stress and improve mood; this suits anxiety, stress and low mood. Another approach is focused discussion about difficult events and relationships to help reduce their ongoing impact, which can be useful for grief, trauma and relationship problems.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options with each person, weigh up their needs and preferences, and agree a way of working together that feels right. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed, so the plan can change over time.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow sessions to be shorter or more flexible when needed, for example fitting a check-in around work breaks. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in person for remote sessions to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices.
