Sally Gardner , BACP

Sally Gardner is a counsellor who focuses on women's issues alongside a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy problems, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and addiction. She brings seven years of professional experience and practices from the United Kingdom. She works in English and accepts international clients, offering sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Sally tends to look for patterns that go back to earlier relationships and experiences. She will gently explore past events and attachment dynamics to help people understand why they feel or behave as they do now. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person.

Her working style is warm and respectful. She aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and to use practical tools alongside open conversation. That might include learning new ways to manage anxiety, trying different approaches to difficult feelings, or improving communication around intimacy and relationships.

Sally uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These methods help with coping skills, emotion regulation and understanding relational patterns.

She also supports issues such as grief, eating and sleep difficulties, parenting stresses, career decisions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape present patterns. It helps people understand attachment styles and improve connection and intimacy in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try approaches collaboratively to see what fits. That way the plan is shaped around each person's needs rather than a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access therapists across locations.
