Sarah Lacon , NCPS

Sarah Lacon is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and parenting pressures. She also helps with anger, career concerns, ADHD, addictions, LGBT issues and relationship or family difficulties. Sarah works in a warm, non-judgemental way to help people feel understood and hopeful about change.

She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on what is useful now rather than jargon. Sarah draws on a mix of talking therapies to suit different problems and personalities.

Her background includes three years of direct experience helping people face life changes and emotional challenges. She holds NCPS as a credential and practices in the United Kingdom. That experience has included supporting people through trauma, bereavement and long‑term health struggles.

In sessions she combines listening with techniques that can change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness-based ideas and client-centred work feature in her approach. She also brings elements of cognitive behavioural methods and motivational interviewing when helpful.

Sarah aims to make the first steps straightforward. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and reviews progress regularly. People meet her for focused work on sleep, self-esteem, coping strategies, or longer-term emotional healing.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people clarify feelings and goals, which is useful for low mood, relationship worries and parenting stress.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and low self-esteem.

Mindfulness-based approaches train attention and present-moment awareness. These techniques can reduce rumination and support coping with stress and chronic health issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences, so therapy is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing written reflection. These formats help people access regular support from wherever they are located, with choices to match practical needs and comfort.
