Sarah Greenwood, BACP

Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, approachable presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. She welcomes honest questions and aims to make the first step into therapy straightforward.

Sarah combines person-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy, and draws on other approaches when helpful. Sessions focus on understanding what is getting in the way day to day, and on small, realistic steps that can make life easier.

Her background spans independent and public settings over many years. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and keeps up regular supervision and professional development. She also holds an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.

People come for help with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. There is also experience with issues linked to trauma, addictions, grief, relationships and intimacy-related concerns.

Sarah has worked with matters related to parenting, caregiving stress, chronic illness, neurodiversity and attachment difficulties. Work can include coaching-style conversations for career or practical problems as well as longer emotional issues.

Therapy is offered in an unhurried, non-judgemental way. The aim is to build understanding, reduce distressing patterns and help people make choices that fit their values and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match what matters to them, useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.) Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how these affect current connections, which can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan fits what you need.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make fitting therapy into busy lives easier - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins around work, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps. Many people find that familiar surroundings and easier scheduling help them engage more consistently with the work.
