About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting pressures and problems with self-esteem. She also works with anger, grief, addiction and issues linked to trauma and abuse.
Sarah starts from the view that each person knows their own story best. She listens for strengths a person already has and points out practical steps that build on them. Sessions are down-to-earth and focused on what the client wants to change or understand.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic ways of thinking about patterns. That means she pays attention to how past relationships show up now, and how that affects anger, closeness and trust. She also uses client-centred and solution-focused techniques to help set clear, manageable goals and to try practical steps between sessions.
Sarah has supported people through separation and divorce, adoption and foster care questions, and long-term caregiving stress. She is experienced with body image concerns, commitment and control issues, dissociation and the effects of chronic illness on daily life. Her work includes helping people address intimacy-related difficulties and the strain of work or career change.
People who come to Sarah can expect a straightforward, conversational style. She helps clients name issues, test small changes, and reflect on what keeps old patterns going. For anyone wanting to manage anger or reduce recurring distress, she offers steady practical support and help to plan next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people see repeating dynamics, such as how anger or withdrawal appears in close relationships, and then explore different responses.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In an online meeting this means the therapist mirrors what the client brings and helps them find their own next steps. Solution-focused work narrows in on specific, practical changes and small experiments to try between sessions to reduce stress and manage temper.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what length and style of session will best fit everyday life and current responsibilities.
