Sarah Henderson
Supportive client-centred counsellor using CBT
About Sarah
Sarah Henderson is a counsellor who blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural tools. She is registered as NCPS and has four years of professional experience. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people feeling overwhelmed.
She helps with stress, anxiety and low mood, and supports people dealing with grief and trauma. Sarah also works with concerns around self-esteem, motivation and intimacy-related issues. Sexuality and gender matters are included, with a focus on LGBT and gender dysphoria topics.
Background and approach
Sarah uses client-centred therapy to listen and shape sessions around each person’s priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. This mix is practical and conversational, rather than technical or prescriptive.
Other areas she addresses include addictions, sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue from caring roles. Relationship strains, communication problems and separation are also within her focus. She can work through feelings of isolation, guilt and shame that often accompany these issues.
Sessions are arranged online by appointment and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sarah welcomes people from the United Kingdom and internationally and will adapt the way of working to each person’s needs.

How client-centred care and CBT work online
Client-centred therapy is built around careful listening and shaping sessions to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small practical changes that can lift mood and reduce worry. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may change over time as needs evolve and progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
