Sally Humphreys , BACP

Sally Humphreys uses a person-centred approach to guide people through difficult life moments. She is Sally Humphreys, BACP, and she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Her style is gentle and supportive and she offers both in-person and online options.

Sally helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing relationship strain, body image concerns, identity questions and problems with trust and attachment. LGBT concerns are within her remit and she works with people affected by sexual violence and bereavement.

Her practice draws on client-centred work and trauma-focused approaches. That means sessions focus on the person's own experience while also paying attention to the impact of past harm. Conversations are paced according to each person and aims and goals are set together during therapy.

Sally has nine years of counselling experience and holds BACP in her professional listing. She has provided bereavement counselling in schools and has worked with Northamptonshire Rape Crisis, bringing direct experience of supporting people after sexual violence.

Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging for flexibility. She offers a monthly bereavement support group and accepts people based outside the UK for remote work under English and Welsh contract terms.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to help pair someone with a suitable therapist. Sally works collaboratively to agree on session frequency and priorities as therapy progresses.

How client-centred and trauma-focused work translates online

Sally combines client-centred counselling with trauma-focused work to address emotional distress and past harm. Client-centred therapy concentrates on the person's own feelings and choices, offering space to be heard and understood without judgement. Trauma-focused therapy looks at the effects of traumatic experiences and helps people make sense of how those events affect daily life and relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and how past experiences show up now. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions stay largely person-centred or include more targeted trauma-focused techniques as required.

Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging for greater flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
