Sarah Dunn, BACP

Sarah Dunn is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience and BACP credentials. She works with adults facing a range of concerns, bringing focused support for stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

Her practice also addresses coping with life changes and related areas such as body image, communication problems, substance-related issues, eating and food concerns, family difficulties, isolation and loneliness, and the particular pressures faced by young adults and men. She supports people dealing with obsessive-compulsive difficulties, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth adjustments, sexual assault and abuse recovery, social anxiety, and workplace strain.

Sarah approaches each person as the expert in their own story and builds on the strengths they already have. She encourages clients to take the first courageous step toward a more fulfilling and happier life and offers steady, empathetic support throughout the process. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and indicates her professional affiliation within the United Kingdom.

Evidence-based approaches for online stress and trauma support

Sarah Dunn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach she employs is skills-based work for stress and anxiety - this involves teaching coping strategies, breathing and grounding practices, and ways to manage unhelpful thinking so daily pressures feel more manageable. It is well suited to people struggling with worry, workplace strain, or social anxiety.

Another strand of her work is trauma-informed support, which helps people make sense of distressing events and their effects. This involves pacing the work to the client’s readiness, exploring adaptive responses, and developing strategies to reduce symptoms related to trauma and abuse. It can be helpful for those coping with post-traumatic stress, recovery from assault, or difficult life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Sarah takes a collaborative stance - she works with clients to identify goals, consider what feels most helpful, and adapt methods to suit individual needs and preferences. Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage from home or elsewhere and fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
