Sarah Marlow-Rawles , BACP

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor with a background in helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She uses a person-focused way of working and draws on many years of practice to support people who want change. Sarah holds BACP which is listed as her professional credential.

Sarah aims to build a calm, respectful space where people can talk about hard things. She starts by listening to the person's story and identifying the strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with steps to try between meetings when that feels helpful.

Her work often addresses parenting pressures, low self-esteem and challenges around intimacy and grief. She also supports people dealing with addiction, chronic health issues and the impact of abuse or trauma. Sarah pays attention to patterns that link past attachment experiences to present relationships.

Sarah draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of recurring difficulties. She also uses client-centred ways of working and brief, solution-focused techniques to set realistic goals. Trauma-informed practices are used when past harm is part of the story.

Clients can expect clear explanations of the approaches used and a steady focus on what they want to change. Sessions can be delivered online in a variety of formats to fit different lifestyles. The aim is to help people feel more able to cope and make practical steps towards their goals.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online sessions can be used to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating, which helps with intimacy, trust and parenting worries.

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person's pace, which can be especially useful when people need time to find their words during video or text sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas look at repeating themes and unconscious patterns that affect mood and relationships. Exploring these themes online can reveal links between past experiences and present reactions, supporting longer-term change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will choose or blend methods that feel most useful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person's life and aims.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is lower, live chat offers shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
