About Sarah
Sarah Cree is a counsellor who creates a calm, compassionate space where people can feel heard. She names herself up front and offers straightforward support for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Her manner is gentle and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.
Sarah has worked in independent practice for six years and has a longer background supporting neurodivergent people. She uses a mix of approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sometimes that looks like practical skills for managing emotions; other times it is reflective work to understand patterns and how they developed. Her practice includes help with ADHD, autism-related concerns, sleep disruption linked to trauma, and menopausal transitions. She also supports people facing addiction, depression, parenting stress, and career or identity questions.
Each session is adapted to the immediate issue the client brings. Sarah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also holds other professional memberships that complement her therapeutic work.
These inform her practice without defining it. People can expect an approach that blends client-focused listening with practical tools. Sarah draws on mindfulness, cognitive and behaviour-focused techniques, and elements of dialectical practice to help with emotional regulation.
She aims to help people build skills that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

How Sarah blends evidence-based approaches online
Sarah uses client-centred therapy to create a listening space where the person's priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on empathic listening and helping people make choices that fit their own values and goals.She also applies cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by teaching practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, features in her practice when people need skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. DBT includes short, teachable techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore needs, goals and preferences together with the client and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions remain relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet and work. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can help with quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options help fit therapy around work, family commitments and differing energy levels, while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
