About Sarah
Sarah Willcocks is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, sleep and eating concerns, relationship and intimacy difficulties, ADHD and career or life-change pressures.
Sarah uses a person-centred approach that lets people lead the pace of therapy. She listens without judgement and aims to be honest and straightforward in sessions. Solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing help when people want concrete steps or to explore readiness for change.
Sessions tend to be interactive and practical. Sarah encourages people to talk through difficult moments and to notice patterns that increase tension or anger. She works with issues that stem from childhood or adult trauma, and topics such as abandonment, attachment problems and separation are included in her experience.
People who have experienced bereavement, first responder stress, fertility or cancer-related strain have sought her support. She has also worked with people dealing with personality issues, dissociation and disruptive mood challenges. The focus is on helping people manage strong feelings and find clearer ways to respond.
Sarah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the BACP. That membership means she follows the BACP Ethical Framework and the BACP Guidelines for Online Counselling and Psychotherapy.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Sarah uses person-centred work to let the client guide what matters most. That approach focuses on listening, honest feedback and following the pace set by the person seeking help. It can be useful for tackling strong feelings that come from trauma, loss or ongoing stress.Solution-focused therapy in her practice offers short, goal-orientated steps. It looks at what is already working and builds small, practical strategies to reduce anger triggers and improve coping in day-to-day life. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring reasons for and against moving forward.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. Sarah will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That means discussions early on about what the person wants to achieve and how best to get there.
