About Sarah

Sarah Cree is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience in private practice. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also addresses concerns linked to neurodivergence, addiction, sleep disruption and blended family issues.

Sarah uses a person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on building practical skills. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness techniques to help manage difficult thoughts and strong emotions.

Her background includes a decade of experience supporting autistic and neurodivergent people. That experience informs how she frames coping strategies and adjusts the pace of sessions. She also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and life transitions when people want clearer steps forward.

In practice she combines elements from different approaches rather than following one method only. This can include DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation, solution-focused steps to identify next actions, and person-centred listening to clarify values and priorities. Sessions may also use creative tools when useful, such as writing exercises.

People meet Sarah to talk through practical problems, manage overwhelming feelings, or work out relationships and family arrangements after change. Her work is aimed at helping adults find clearer ways to cope and plan next steps, especially when routines or roles have shifted.

Approaches used in online sessions

Sarah often blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Person-centred work means the therapist focuses on what the client brings and listens to what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and helps people test small changes that can reduce distress. Mindfulness involves simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and agree on practical goals together. That means clients and therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus on symptom management, skills training, exploring relationships or short-term coaching steps.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life. They can allow for shorter check-ins, fewer travel arrangements and a simpler way to maintain continuity across weeks. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and tasks so sessions work for people managing busy or changing household routines.
