About Sarah
Sarah Leppard is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and career difficulties, and she lists anger among her areas of focus. Her opening aim is to make talking about difficult emotions straightforward and practical.
Sarah prefers clear, conversational sessions. She asks about what is causing the feeling, what has helped before, and what the person wants to try next. Sessions are paced to the individual, with time for immediate coping ideas and space to look at longer-term patterns.
Her work draws on client-centred ways of listening. That means the client sets the agenda and Sarah follows their concerns while offering reflections and suggestions. She also uses narrative techniques to help people see recurring stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative ways of moving forward.
Where relevant, Sarah brings in elements from psychodynamic thinking to look at past influences on current reactions, and she uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and practical next steps. This mix aims to balance understanding with concrete changes.
Sarah has supported people with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, trauma and a range of life changes. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s concerns and reflecting them back. Online sessions using this approach let the client lead conversations about anger, stress or relationship issues while the counsellor listens and mirrors what matters most. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps re-author those stories. In remote sessions this can mean examining how anger fits into those stories and trying out different ways to describe events and reactions. Psychodynamic ideas explore how past experiences shape present responses. Online work can give space to notice patterns that repeat and to consider their origins in a measured, conversational way. Sarah aims to work with clients to find approaches that fit their goals; together they decide whether a focus on stories, immediate problem-solving or exploring past influences will help most. Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time, or having shorter check-ins on difficult days. Others choose remote work because it can be easier to arrange around work or family commitments. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and adapt sessions so they fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
