About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood has practised as a counsellor for 17 years. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings a calm, friendly manner to sessions. She offers a space where people can talk about what is worrying them and take practical steps forward.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. That includes hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and a client-centred way of working.
Background and approach
Sarah focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and body image. Her background includes counselling in both public and personal settings.
Over the years she has worked with people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Sarah draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns and communication problems are a concern. Sessions are collaborative.
She listens, helps people set clear goals, and uses practical strategies from CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy where useful. Hypnotherapy may be offered as a complementary tool to support relaxation, reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Sarah follows the BACP ethical framework and takes part in ongoing supervision and professional development.
She works with adults and young people and aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It uses practical exercises to change how thoughts are handled rather than trying to remove them, which can suit issues like anxiety, depression and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on helpful changes to thoughts and behaviours. Sessions often include simple homework tasks such as tracking moods or testing out new behaviours, which work well in online formats and help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and imagery to support habit change and reduce anxiety. In online sessions this can be used alongside other approaches to reinforce coping skills and calm the nervous system.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and agree what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape sessions around the person's needs and preferences rather than a fixed method.
Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more eye contact helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around everyday commitments.
