Sally Humphreys, BACP

Sally Humphreys is a fully qualified person-centred therapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With nine years of experience, she offers both face-to-face sessions from her private practice in Corby and online appointments for clients in the United Kingdom and abroad. Sally keeps her skills current through regular professional development courses and ongoing reading, reflecting a commitment to continual learning. Her therapy business is based in the UK and governed by English and Welsh law, so her practice operates under the jurisdiction of UK courts.

Sally works with a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and matters related to LGBT identity. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, family of origin problems, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and infidelity. She also supports people affected by sexual violence and bereavement.

In addition to her private practice, Sally is a counsellor at Northamptonshire Rape Crisis (NRC) and runs a monthly bereavement support group in Kettering. Her background includes work within NHS Child Services providing bereavement counselling to students aged 11 and over in schools. Known as a gentle and supportive therapist, she offers a non-judgmental space to explore emotional concerns and works collaboratively with clients. Session times are offered flexibly, and while availability can vary, she encourages prospective clients to get in touch to arrange suitable appointments either in person or online.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a caring, accepting relationship in which the client is supported to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach helps people who are working through issues like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity questions, or difficulties with self-esteem by focusing on empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and working through the effects of past traumatic events. It aims to help people make sense of painful experiences such as abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, dissociation, or other trauma-related difficulties, and to reduce the ongoing impact those experiences have on daily life.

Sally will work collaboratively with each client to determine which approach, or blend of approaches, best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is explored together so the therapeutic plan reflects the client’s priorities and pace, drawing on practices commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and situations. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from different locations and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
