Sally Gardner, BACP

Sally Gardner helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She often supports clients dealing with low self-esteem, addiction, grief, and difficulties with sleep or eating. Sally works from a practical, respectful stance and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Sally uses talking and reflective work to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns and how these affect self-worth. Sessions are tailored to each person so the conversation focuses on what matters most to them.

Her approach draws on several well-known therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based techniques. She also uses client-centred and dialectical behaviour ideas to help people build skills and make choices that match their values.

With seven years of experience in mental health settings, Sally brings practical knowledge of common emotional issues such as depression, bipolar difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue. She also supports people with addiction, ADHD and identity concerns, including LGBT matters.

Sally works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who can take part in sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and times of life change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections; it helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment or closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into steps and teaches practical ways to change them, which can ease anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change if something does not feel like a good fit.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into everyday life by removing travel and allowing appointments around work or family routines. It can also help when a shorter check-in is needed or when being on camera is difficult, as different session styles can be discussed. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how appointments will be held.
