Sarah Porritt, BACP

Sarah Porritt is a fully qualified counselling therapist based in the United Kingdom with over 10 years of experience supporting adults, young people, and families. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which provides an ethical framework that guides her professional practice.

Sarah views therapy as a welcoming space where people can explore thoughts, feelings, and life experiences without judgement. Her way of working blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centred therapy, and mindfulness with a compassionate, down-to-earth manner. This combination aims to be practical and relatable while addressing emotional patterns and unhelpful thinking.

She specialises in helping people manage anxiety, stress, and overthinking, as well as low mood and depression. Relationship and communication difficulties, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and life transitions including loss and uncertainty are also core areas of her work. In addition, she offers focused support around issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, control and impulsivity, and challenges linked to divorce or midlife change.

In sessions clients can expect to be listened to and valued, with an emphasis on equipping them with tools to cope and move forward with greater resilience and clarity. Reaching out for support is recognised as a courageous step, and Sarah aims to walk alongside people through their journey.
