Sarah Cattermole, BACP

Sarah Cattermole helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing career pressures, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and life changes. Sarah presents as warm and approachable and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and practical.

She works in ways that suit each person. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, manageable steps that can be used between meetings. Sarah draws on client-centred ideas to build trust and on cognitive behavioural approaches to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Sarah trained in psychology and health psychology, holding a 2:1 degree in psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University. She holds level 4 and level 5 qualifications from CPCAB in counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In practical terms, Sarah tailors each plan to the person in front of her. That might mean setting small goals, trying new ways of dealing with stress, or talking through grief at a pace that feels safe. The focus is on clear, usable techniques alongside a supportive conversation.

People who choose to work with her can expect calm, direct discussion and practical strategies they can use day to day. She welcomes enquiries from across the UK and from international clients.

How client-centred and CBT ideas work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, accepting relationship and helping people feel heard. It is useful when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about feelings such as grief, low self-esteem or relationship strain.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It offers practical exercises and small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety, lift mood and help manage stress in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are chosen together and reviewed over time.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also let people use written exercises and homework between meetings, helping progress continue outside sessions.
