About Sarah

Sarah King is a person-centred counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, family difficulties, parenting stress, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and grief. She works with adults aged 18 and over and aims to create a warm, open space where people feel heard. Sarah is neurodivergent and gender affirming in her practice.

Sarah uses a collaborative, person-centred approach. That means the client’s experience and goals guide each session. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns in their feelings and relationships. Practical handouts and short reflective exercises may be suggested for work between sessions, but these are optional.

Sessions focus on helping people make sense of what is happening in their lives. Sarah does not give prescriptive advice or fixed answers. Instead she helps people find their own direction and clarity through careful listening and gentle questioning.

Her work commonly addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency and commitment issues, and the effects of family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, blended family challenges, loss, guilt and shame. These themes are brought into sessions at the client’s pace.

Sarah has five years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential, which is shown here as NCPS. She offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Sarah primarily uses a person-centred approach. This approach focuses on understanding the client’s experience, listening without judgement, and following the client’s lead to build insight and self-acceptance. It is helpful for difficulties tied to relationships, parenting stress, grief and navigating big life changes.

She may offer reflective exercises or short psycho-educational material to use between sessions. These are suggested collaboratively and only if they fit the client’s goals. The aim is to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, practical steps between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide what methods and pacing feel most useful. That decision is based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed protocol.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around busy schedules, and can suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their way of working to help sessions fit into each person’s routine.
