About Sarah
Sarah Semper is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship and intimacy concerns. Parents and people facing life changes often contact her about confidence, motivation and parenting strains.
Sarah uses clear, practical methods. She blends talking therapy and cognitive behavioural approaches with creative techniques such as art and imagery. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building everyday skills that make life feel more manageable.
Her work often begins with short, focused goals. These might be reducing panic, improving communication, or finding steadier routines. Sarah uses mindfulness tools and solution-focused steps alongside longer conversations about values and meaning when those feel relevant.
She also pays attention to attachment issues and how past relationships affect present choices. That can include looking at abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, or attachment patterns that influence intimacy and trust.
People bring a wide range of concerns, from chronic health and caregiving stress to body image, codependency and dissociation. Sarah describes practical options, tries small experiments in session, and follows up with simple exercises to try between meetings.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and habits and then testing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the persons own priorities.Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a way forward together. That makes sessions collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, for example by saving travel time or making it easier to schedule a lunch-hour check-in. Phone sessions can be simpler for short updates and low-bandwidth situations, while video lets people use visual exercises or art-based tools when desired. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises so they work in different online setups.
