Sarah Charney
Short-term skills and deeper therapy for adults
About Sarah
Sarah Charney uses a blend of talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She is Sarah Charney, NCPS, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, focused on what people need now rather than jargon.
She offers short-term skills and longer conversations depending on what helps most. Her work draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings. Sarah has around ten years of practice experience in clinical and workplace settings.
That includes time working with multi-disciplinary teams in the NHS alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists. Her background in occupational psychology means she can also talk about workplace stress and motivation. Sessions are aimed at people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, addiction issues, eating and body image concerns, and feelings of emptiness.
She also supports people struggling with codependency, communication and control issues, and separation or divorce. Sarah works in English and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Therapy can focus on practical skills, emotional processing or both, depending on what the person wants to achieve.
If someone prefers, she can create a steady space for talking rather than using structured techniques.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often involves exercises to clarify what matters and small behavioural experiments to build a more meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going and practising new ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and agree whether to focus on skills, emotional processing or both. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction without travel. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging give options for quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around busy lives and reduce time spent travelling while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work.
