Sarah Labbett, BACP

Sarah Labbett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice supporting people through difficult times. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other challenges such as self-esteem, addiction, grief and intimacy-related issues. Sarah aims to meet people with respect and sensitivity as they start therapy.

She works in a way that is tailored to each person. Conversations and plans are adapted to what a person needs right now, rather than following a fixed script. Sarah has a particular interest in obsessive thoughts and related behaviours and has recently completed training in exposure and response prevention approaches.

Sarah uses several therapeutic approaches to help people untangle patterns and try new ways of coping. She draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters most to a person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she looks at feelings and past patterns.

She supports people dealing with life changes, parenting strains, work stress, problems with sleeping and eating, and complicated emotions such as anger, emptiness and compassion fatigue. Sarah also works with issues around sexuality and alternative sex culture, commitment and communication problems, and substance use concerns.

Sarah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. Sessions and practical arrangements are set up through the site. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Sarah combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness methods to help people manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own direction, which can be useful for building trust and clarity online. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical steps to change them, often helping with anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention to the present moment to reduce rumination and improve coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that suit you. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time if something is not working.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that better fits your day or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support remotely when approach and logistics are agreed together.
