Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sarah Greenwood integrates several established approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in relationships that developed from early attachments and how those patterns affect present-day connections and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and trauma-linked trust concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is frequently used for depression, anxiety and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to explore what feels most helpful, adapting techniques to match individual goals, preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy with Sarah can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
