How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sarah uses Person-Centred (Client-Centred) therapy to place the person and their experience at the heart of the work. This approach focuses on being listened to and accepted, helping people explore feelings and decide the pace of change. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be useful for addictions, career shifts or difficult decisions. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, practical steps and build on what is already working.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sarah collaborates with each person to work out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adapt the way she works as the relationship and aims develop.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments and allows for follow-up conversations without a long commute.
