Sarah Dinenage , BACP

Sarah Dinenage is a registered Psychodynamic Counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience working both within organisations and in private practice. She supports people navigating depression, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Holding BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings training and a professional framework to her work while keeping therapy grounded and approachable.

Her practice emphasises understanding how adult problems often trace back to earlier attachment experiences and childhood patterns, and how these histories shape the ways people relate to themselves and others. By exploring the underlying drivers of repeated relationship patterns, she helps clients gain clearer self-awareness and make sense of what has been troubling them. Sessions focus on listening attentively to both what is said and what is left unsaid, offering space to examine deeper meanings and emotional dynamics.

Sarah aims to create a real, relatable working relationship rather than a formal clinical atmosphere, and she values a sense of humour as a helpful therapeutic tool. While therapy does not promise to fix every difficulty, her goal is to reduce the impact of past hurts on daily life and to help clients live more effectively. Those ready to begin are invited to get in touch to start the journey toward greater clarity and wellbeing.

Attachment-Focused Support Delivered Online

Sarah draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early caregiving experiences shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand patterns of closeness, abandonment fears, and how those patterns influence anxiety, relationship difficulties, and repeated cycles.

She also works from a psychodynamic perspective that looks at how past experiences and unconscious dynamics contribute to present-day difficulties. This method supports examination of recurring themes, family and relational conflicts, and the roots of mood and stress-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to identify goals, consider preferred ways of working, and tailor interventions to the client’s needs and circumstances.

Online therapy with Sarah is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access a licensed professional from home or while travelling, and allow therapy to fit around work, family commitments, and other responsibilities.
