About Sarah

Sarah Witt is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years' clinical experience. She offers a warm, listening presence and focuses on helping people make sense of difficult feelings. Her work is straightforward and practical, with attention to what feels most useful right now.

Sarah tends to draw on person-centred ideas, which means she follows the client's lead and aims to build trust before suggesting changes. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns that may come from earlier life experiences.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques are brought in when unhelpful thoughts or habits need to be challenged. Sessions are collaborative. Sarah helps people name what is causing distress and then explores simple steps to improve day-to-day coping.

Conversations are paced to match the person’s needs, so some weeks focus on practical skills and other weeks go deeper into emotions and history. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating and body image issues, and career strain. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, carer stress, and coping after infidelity.

People can expect clear, plain-language explanations about any approach used. The emphasis is on helping clients feel more confident and able to manage life changes. Reaching out is acknowledged as a difficult step, and Sarah aims to make that first contact feel as manageable as possible.

How Sarah’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s concerns. The therapist reflects feelings and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for building confidence and tackling low self-esteem or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking and manage behaviours that cause distress.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to repeated life patterns and early relationships. Online sessions can be used to gently notice these patterns and understand how past experiences influence present reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss different methods and agree on a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual connection matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter way to speak is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins possible and can fit around busy days or shift work. These options help people fit therapy around everyday life and maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
