Sarah Slade , BACP

Sarah Slade is a UK-licensed therapist registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people navigating stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, and facing challenges around motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career difficulties. Her practice also supports those managing life transitions and family-related concerns, as well as symptoms of depression.

Sarah approaches each session with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring the work to meet the specific needs of the individual. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s goals and personal strengths guide the pace and focus of work. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can be challenging, and Sarah offers steady support and practical listening throughout that journey.

Sessions are shaped to reflect what matters most to each person, whether that means exploring difficult emotions, building confidence, or developing coping strategies for daily stressors. Her intention is to create a space where people feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client identifies their own goals and pace. This approach can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, exploring grief, and navigating life changes because it centers the client’s experience and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to adjust those patterns. CBT is commonly used to address stress, anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving around work or relationship challenges by combining understanding with targeted skill-building.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sarah will work collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps shape a plan that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, all while preserving the therapeutic relationship and the work that clients want to do.
