Sarah Johnson, NCPS

Sarah Johnson is a licensed counsellor and psychotherapist with six years of hands-on experience supporting people at different stages of life. She holds a BSc Hons in Therapeutic Counselling, a diploma in counselling children and adolescents, and the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification. Sarah has worked with young people aged 11 and up as well as elderly clients, addressing a wide range of difficulties including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, abusive relationships, trauma, anger, addictions, self-harm, suicidal thinking, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders.

Her decision to train as a therapist was shaped by personal life experiences that led to a strong commitment to helping others improve their mental health and wellbeing. She brings an empathic, non-judgmental stance to her work and supports clients to explore what is troubling them at a pace that feels manageable. Sarah combines practical techniques with reflective conversation to help people build confidence and move toward changes they want to make.

Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioural strategies, person-centred approaches, mindfulness practices, solution-focused methods, exposure techniques, and existential ideas. Sarah welcomes clients who seek support with relationships, family issues, grief, intimacy, parenting, career challenges, neurodiversity-related concerns, and a broad array of emotional and behavioural difficulties. She is based in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients for online work, offering flexibility for those seeking professional support from different locations.

Bringing therapeutic approaches to online care

Sarah integrates client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client to lead conversations about what matters most, which is helpful for building trust and self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping skills that reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation. Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process - Sarah works collaboratively with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, and she adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Sarah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy lives and varied time zones. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, continuity of care when travel or relocation occurs, and options for people who find different communication styles more comfortable. Licensed professionals like Sarah aim to make evidence-informed therapy accessible while collaborating with each client to find the best fit for their circumstances.
