About Sarah

Sarah Dinenage welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain or the effects of past abuse and trauma. She is described with the credential BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sarah speaks plainly and gently to help people take that difficult first step towards change.

She uses an attachment-based approach to look at how early experiences shape current relationships and feelings.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people notice patterns that repeat in adult life and makes these patterns easier to understand. This often leads to calmer choices and clearer thinking in day-to-day situations. Sarah has 12 years of experience working in a mix of organisations and independent practice across the United Kingdom.

She offers practical talking therapy aimed at getting to the heart of what causes repeated struggles. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she values humour as part of building trust. Therapy focuses on helping people see themselves more clearly and understand what drives their behaviour.

Conversations look at what is said and what is left unsaid, so hidden influences become clearer. The goal is not to fix everything at once but to reduce how much past hurts shape present life. Sessions are available in English and Sarah accepts international clients.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Sessions & fees

Attachment work and online therapy options

Sarah uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. This approach looks at patterns of relating - for example repeated conflicts, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others - and helps people understand why those patterns keep happening.

The work often focuses on recognising how old habits show up in present relationships and day-to-day choices. Conversations look at both what is said and what is left unsaid, so underlying drives become clearer and easier to change. This can be helpful for people struggling with anxiety, mood difficulties, grief, or the longer-term effects of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah will work with each person to agree goals and decide which ways of working feel most helpful. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit around work, caring duties and travel. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions and to access therapy from different locations.
