Sarah Mayberry, BACP

Sarah Mayberry is an integrative counsellor with 18 years of experience offering compassionate, client-focused support to both adults and teenagers across the United Kingdom. She is registered with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and brings a calm, respectful approach to each therapeutic relationship.

Using a blend of Person-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic ideas, she adapts her techniques to meet each person’s individual needs and goals. The Person-Centred stance ensures clients feel genuinely heard and understood, CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and psychodynamic exploration can illuminate how early experiences shape present difficulties.

Sarah supports people with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, bereavement, addiction, and a range of life transitions. She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Her practice is delivered fully online with flexible appointment times including daytime, evenings and weekends, allowing clients to access therapy from the convenience of their own space. Sarah aims to help clients make sense of their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Sarah integrates Person-Centred practice, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic ideas to tailor online sessions to each person’s needs. Person-Centred work focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and supported - it is particularly helpful for building self-esteem and working through emotional distress. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Psychodynamic work explores how earlier relationships and life experiences may influence current patterns, supporting deeper insight into recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals and therapists in mind, discussing goals, preferences, and what feels most useful so the plan evolves together rather than being imposed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and appointment times include daytime, evenings and weekends. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access consistent support from wherever the client is located within the United Kingdom.
