Sarah Showler , NCPS

Sarah Showler uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She introduces clear, practical steps and listens carefully to what matters to each person. Sarah holds NCPS and has eight years of professional experience in the UK. She welcomes conversations about relationship concerns and self-esteem struggles.

Sarah aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. She focuses on what is happening now and what small changes could help. Conversations cover coping with life changes, improving communication and handling commitment or control issues.

She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image concerns and codependency patterns. Eating and food-related issues, dissociation and some mood regulation difficulties are part of her work. Sarah draws on practical techniques that people can use between sessions.

Sessions are paced to fit the person’s needs. The approach is collaborative - the person and Sarah agree goals and steps together. She offers phone, video, live chat and text-based messaging to make contact easier.

Sarah encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. Her style is calm and respectful, and she aims to help people find more balance, improved confidence and clearer choices in their daily life.

How evidence-based techniques fit online therapy

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are practical approaches that focus on present difficulties and measurable steps. For example, cognitive-style methods help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioural strategies focus on small, repeatable actions such as activity planning and exposure tasks to rebuild confidence and reduce avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what seems most useful and adapt methods to the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist agree goals and try techniques together, checking what helps and changing course when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower data use. Live chat or text messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, mood tracking or ongoing support between longer meetings. These formats make therapy more flexible, helping people fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments.
