About Sarah
Sarah Bates is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years of professional experience supporting people with a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and anger.
She works in plain, direct conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical ways to respond differently. Sarah helps people spot patterns that make anger worse and develop clearer ways to say what they need. She also works with issues that often sit alongside anger, such as sleep problems, low mood and work stress.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide short- and longer-term work. That can include learning new coping skills, looking at how past experiences shape current reactions, and trying out different responses in everyday life. Sarah frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving rather than instruction.
Sarah supports people from many backgrounds, including LGBT clients and those coping with addiction or bipolar mood challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used online and how they help
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people learn coping skills and behaviour changes to reduce stress and anger in everyday situations. It teaches specific ways to notice triggers and try alternative responses.Another approach looks at how past experiences influence current reactions. This helps people understand why certain situations provoke strong anger and offers ways to test different responses in real life rather than rely on old patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what methods feel helpful and adjusting as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet a therapist who works in the UK even if they live elsewhere, so international clients can access support more easily.
