Sarah Cree, BACP

Sarah Cree is a trauma-informed, person-centred therapist who creates a calm, compassionate setting where people can feel seen and supported. She works to honour each person's story and to help them regain a sense of agency and direction. Drawing on more than six years in private practice and around a decade of experience supporting neurodivergent people, she blends clinical knowledge with creative, tailored methods to meet the needs of each individual.

Her work is integrative and responsive, combining approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practice, inner-child work, and expressive methods like sandtray and therapeutic writing. She offers focused support for ADHD, autism, menopause-related change, and sleep difficulties linked to trauma or neurodivergence, alongside help for grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, and identity exploration.

Sarah is a registered member of BACP - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She is also a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society and an accredited practitioner with IPHM, which reflect ongoing professional development and wider training in holistic approaches. As a qualified mindfulness coach, she includes emotional regulation and resilience-building techniques for burnout recovery and everyday coping. Sarah aims to create a gentle, practical space for change, meeting people where they are and supporting growth at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Sarah Cree integrates client-centred work with evidence-informed skills-based therapies to tailor online sessions to each person’s needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship - it helps when someone needs space to explore identity, relationship concerns, or life transitions and to feel truly heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and many day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and burnout.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their goals, preferences, and current circumstances, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds. This means treatment is personalised rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - allow flexibility for people managing work, family, neurodivergence, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try different communication styles, and continue therapy from a location that feels comfortable, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt interventions to the online setting.
