Sarah Labbett , BACP

Sarah Labbett is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She brings five years of professional experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships and trauma. Sarah aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can speak honestly about what matters to them.

She works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, grief, addiction, parenting strain and intimacy-related issues. Sarah also supports people facing eating or sleeping difficulties, career stress, anger and profound life changes. Her practice includes LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue for those in caring roles.

Sarah uses straightforward listening alongside practical tools. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and small steps to get there. She adapts her approach to the individual rather than using one fixed method.

Her work draws on client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. Cognitive approaches help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness ideas are offered to manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.

People meet Sarah for help after trauma, during relationship strain, or when anxiety feels overwhelming. She encourages honest talk about hard topics such as abandonment, attachment problems, kink and alternative sexual culture, and addiction. The aim is clearer choices and practical ways to cope day to day.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sarah uses client-centred work to keep the focus on the person in the chair. This approach means conversations follow the individual's experience and priorities, helping them feel heard and leading to clearer goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and helps people try small experiments to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts and many day-to-day problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss options and tailor methods to fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels workable and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the conversation feel close to an in-person session. Phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins, mood tracking or people who prefer typing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other life demands.
