About Sarah

Sarah Witt works on stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem using approaches she outlines as client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has four years' experience.

Sarah describes her practice as one where the relationship between counsellor and client is central. She listens to the concerns people bring and uses person-centred skills to help them feel heard. Sessions can include talking through current problems, noticing repeated patterns, and working on clearer communication.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when childhood experiences seem to affect how someone feels today. This can help people connect feelings and events that feel unclear or repetitive. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when it helps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.

Clients come to her for a wide range of issues. These include depression, grief, coping with life changes, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image issues, gender dysphoria and LGBT matters. She also works with relationship stresses such as communication problems, infidelity, blended family difficulties and separation.

Practical matters are part of the work. She helps people develop coping strategies for caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, career pressures and parenting strain. The focus is on building self-awareness and stronger ways of managing day-to-day life.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Sarah uses person-centred practice as a foundation, which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people feel understood so they can explore what matters to them. This approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship problems and coping with life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and tries practical steps to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and problem-focused goals. Psychodynamic work is used to look at past experiences that may still affect current feelings and relationships, helping to spot repeated patterns and where they come from.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree together which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking as these were not specified. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer a range of arrangements, and Sarah will help find a way of working that fits everyday commitments.
