About Sarah
Sarah Cattermole is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, coping with life changes, and coaching. Sessions focus on practical steps and talking through what is causing distress.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside a client-centred way of working. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, while also giving space for what matters to the individual. Mindfulness techniques are also part of her approach when people want them.
Sarah has an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University. She holds CPCAB level 4 and level 5 counselling qualifications. She is a member of the BACP and is progressing towards accreditation under that body.
In sessions she aims to be straightforward and practical. People can expect help to identify patterns, practise new coping skills, and review what is working. Work may include short exercises between meetings and revisiting goals as things change.
Sarah accepts people from outside the UK and runs appointments that fit around day-to-day routines. Before booking, readers should confirm which session types are currently offered.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they describe their situation. The therapist gives space for the client to lead the conversation and helps clarify what matters most to them. This can help with issues like low self-esteem, life changes, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. Work often includes setting small practical tasks, testing new ways of responding, and reviewing progress. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety and depression. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together. This is a collaborative process based on the client’s needs and preferences. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online work to help people keep therapy practical and manageable.Areas of expertise
