Sarah CharneyNCPS

Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist who uses practical talking therapies to help people through stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space and draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sarah is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Sarah tends to work in straightforward, goal-focused ways. She helps clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour that often come from early experiences or difficult events. Techniques may include elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside mindfulness tools.

Her background includes clinical work in the NHS alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists. She also has experience in workplace settings and can talk about stress related to work or caring roles. This mix of settings shapes the practical tone of her sessions.

Clients often bring problems such as relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, body image concerns, substance use issues and eating or food-related difficulties. She also notes work around attachment, abandonment and issues like codependency or dissociation.

Sarah trained at university level and holds postgraduate qualifications in counselling psychology and occupational psychology. She aims to help people build insight, develop coping skills and make changes that fit their everyday life.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting entangled in them and focus on what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and making values-based changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that started in early relationships and how they affect current connections; it can help with trust, abandonment worries and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods that suit their needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by saving travel time, allowing short check-ins on a busy day, or offering sessions when work or caring duties make leaving home difficult. It can also let people use different tools such as mindfulness exercises or worksheets during a session. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists vary in how they run online sessions, so check the current session options when you book.
