Sally Humphries, BACP, NCPS

Sally Humphries helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and depression. She is Sally Humphries, a counsellor with BACP and NCPS credentials and over 22 years of practice in the United Kingdom. Her work also addresses issues such as postpartum depression, panic attacks, and women's health concerns.

Sally aims to build a genuine connection with each person who comes to see her. She focuses on being authentic, empathic and accepting, so people feel able to speak openly about what is hard for them. That relationship is central to how she works and is what she sees as the starting point for change.

Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions follow the person’s pacing and priorities rather than a fixed programme. Conversations focus on understanding feelings, making sense of difficult situations, and finding ways to move forward that fit the person’s life.

Sally has substantial experience supporting people affected by cancer and its emotional impact. She also has experience working with autistic people and with blended family or family of origin problems. This background informs how she listens and offers practical support.

People who work with Sally can expect calm listening and gentle challenge when it helps. She aims to be a fellow traveller, walking alongside someone for as long as they want support, and to help them find clearer direction and relief from distress.

How client-centred ways of working suit online therapy

Sally draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. That approach emphasises empathic listening, acceptance and pacing sessions around what the person brings. It helps with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties by giving space to make sense of feelings and choices.

The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. Sally will discuss what matters most, try ways of working that feel comfortable, and review progress together. This helps make sure the method chosen matches the client’s goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into everyday life and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer a shorter telephone check-in when they need a brief update, while others choose longer conversations. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered.
