Sally Howard
Compassionate counsellor focusing on life changes and loss
About Sally
Sally Howard is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP credential. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with grief, terminal illness, fertility concerns and life changes.
Sally aims to build a trusting connection early on. She approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
In practice she listens first and then helps people decide what to try next. That might mean talking through relationship patterns, managing anxious thoughts, or pacing the work around bereavement and end-of-life concerns. She helps clients tackle practical problems such as sleep, eating, or workplace stress alongside emotional issues.
Sally also offers support for more specific problems like obsessive behaviours, panic attacks, postpartum depression and ADHD-related struggles. For people facing fertility treatment, cancer, or hospice matters she gives space to the complicated emotions that arise. Her style is direct but warm.
She works collaboratively to set goals and reviews progress as therapy continues. Signing up for therapy is presented as the first practical step towards change.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Sally uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions begin with careful listening and follow the client’s lead. This approach helps when people bring issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties or reactions to trauma because it focuses on what the person needs most in the moment.That same client-centred focus applies online. Conversations adapt to the pace and style each person prefers, whether they need practical coping tips, space to process loss, or help with everyday routines like sleep and eating. The therapist will work with the client to choose approaches and try different ways of working together. Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and practical needs and will recommend ways of working that match those factors. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well when seeing facial cues matters and the client has good bandwidth. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people send thoughts between sessions, fit therapy into busy days, or use shorter check-ins when needed. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
