About Sarah

Sarah Cree is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years working in private practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, among other concerns listed in her profile. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

She uses practical, structured methods alongside person-centred listening. That means she will help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and try different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, together with dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.

Sarah has spent around a decade supporting neurodivergent people and brings that experience into sessions. She also offers work around ADHD, autism, sleep disruption related to trauma or neurodivergence, and menopause transitions. Her background includes guiding people through emotional regulation and burnout recovery using mindfulness practices.

Sessions often combine short-term practical steps with space to reflect. People might leave with specific exercises, coping strategies, or small experiments to try between meetings. Sarah also uses expressive methods when appropriate, such as writing or sandtray, to help people access feelings in different ways.

She addresses a wide range of life concerns including parenting stress, career issues, substance use and relationship challenges. The focus is on clear, usable tools and on deciding together which methods fit best for each person. To start, readers are asked to follow the site's process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sarah combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred ways of working to make online sessions practical and focused. CBT breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers short exercises and experiments to try between sessions. Client-Centred methods prioritise listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can steer the conversation.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotional regulation skills when that is helpful. DBT offers concrete techniques for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practised in day-to-day life.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through the options at first assessment and agree which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and is revisited together.

The original biography does not list specific online formats here, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow use of worksheets, guided exercises and shared screen work to try techniques between meetings.
