Sarah Jackson, NCPS

Sarah Jackson is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the UK. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction issues and concerns around identity and intimacy.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sarah treats each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday habits that make life easier, along with talking through feelings and decisions.

Sarah uses client-centred methods that put the person’s goals first. She combines this with mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming thoughts, and hypnotherapy work when appropriate to support behavioural change. These approaches are used to help with sleeping, eating, motivation and coping with stressful times.

In a typical session she will listen, reflect what she’s heard and suggest small experiments or exercises to try between meetings. The emphasis is on clear, manageable changes rather than complex jargon. Parents and carers who feel worn down by daily pressures will find a focus on routines and habit changes.

People come for a range of issues from career stress and anger to bipolar and ADHD-related worries. Sarah welcomes those wanting practical ways to manage mood and thought patterns, and she will work with each person to set realistic, short-term goals.

How client-centred work and mindfulness translate online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on treating the person as the expert of their life. The counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them clarify what matters and set realistic goals. This approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and career stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelming thoughts and improve day-to-day coping. These techniques often suit people dealing with anxiety, sleep difficulties or chronic stress. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in behaviour or habits and can be used alongside other approaches when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Early sessions often focus on trying small strategies and seeing what helps most.

If you are interested in online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing short check-ins during a break, or letting them work on mindfulness practices from familiar surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote meetings and everyday routines.
