NCPS counsellor - blended family and relationships

About Sarah

Sarah Johnson is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also helps people with ADHD, addictions, grief and changes that come with major life transitions.

Sarah has a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and a diploma in counselling children and adolescents. Her background includes work with people across a wide age range and with a variety of difficulties including trauma, abusive relationships, self-harm, eating concerns and body image struggles. She lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas.

In sessions she uses practical, conversational methods. She draws on Client-Centred approaches to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also applies Cognitive Behavioural techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that get in the way.

Mindfulness and Solution-Focused work are part of how she helps people build small changes into daily life. Existential ideas are used when clients want to talk about meaning, choices and values. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the problems someone brings.

People who come to Sarah typically want help with coping skills, clearer decisions and steadier routines. She accepts people from outside the UK and runs sessions using the platform process described on the site. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching step and then book a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sarah commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can make sense of their feelings and choices. It helps when someone needs clearer thinking about what matters to them. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood and to build practical coping steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow a steady rhythm of appointments while juggling work, childcare or other commitments.
