About Sarah

Sarah Boston is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of hands-on experience. Sarah uses a respectful, sensitive style and aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin. Sarah focuses on everyday struggles such as stress and anxiety, and on longer-term issues like depression and grief.

They also support people dealing with trauma and abuse, and offer help around LGBT concerns, sexuality, and the challenges that come with cancer or end-of-life situations.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a single formula. Sarah listens closely and adapts conversations and plans so they fit what a person is actually facing. That might mean pacing sessions more slowly, focusing on coping strategies, or spending time simply making sense of hard feelings.

Sarah aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what matters to them. Practical steps and gentle reflection are blended depending on what the person wants to work on. The goal is to help people find clearer ways of managing emotions and daily pressure.

For people who are nervous about starting, Sarah acknowledges that taking the first step takes courage. They encourage straightforward, honest talk about hopes and worries so that therapy can be useful from the start.

How Sarah works

Client-Centred Therapy

Sessions & fees

Client‑centred support available online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is heard, and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief and issues around identity and sexuality.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the way sessions run to match those needs. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus on coping strategies, emotional processing, or practical day-to-day changes.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving people options to suit different routines. Video calls let visual cues guide conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging supports shorter reflections between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties or unpredictable schedules.
