Sarah Willcocks, BACP

Sarah Willcocks is a Person Centred counsellor with 14 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and career or life‑change issues.

Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to be honest, non-judgmental and fully present, letting people lead the pace of sessions while offering steady support. That approach is intended to help someone feel understood and able to talk about difficult material.

Sarah combines Person Centred work with Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. In practice this means she listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and also helps set practical steps and goals if that is what the person wants. The mix is designed to suit both exploration and short-term change work.

She has particular experience supporting people after bereavement, traumatic loss and with post-traumatic stress reactions. Her background also includes working with clients affected by childhood and adult trauma, and those who have experienced physical, emotional or sexual abuse.

Sarah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and follows the association's ethical guidance. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. To begin, people use the site matching process to connect and schedule according to availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on labels. The counsellor listens without judgement and offers empathy, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through difficult experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on finding practical steps forward. It helps people identify small, achievable goals and build on what already works in their lives to create change.

Motivational Interviewing supports motivation and commitment for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about taking steps towards different choices or behaviours.

Deciding which method to use is a shared process. The counsellor will work with the person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals and preferences and may combine elements of the different methods depending on progress.

If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations and can support continuity of work when life or work schedules change.
