Sarah Cree, BACP

Sarah Cree is a BACP counsellor who creates a calm, compassionate setting where people can be heard and begin to make changes. She presents herself as warm and straightforward, offering a space where personal stories are respected and goals are worked on together.

She has six years in private practice and many years supporting neurodivergent people. That combination informs how she tailors sessions for each person. Her work often includes emotional regulation, sleep disruption linked to trauma or neurodivergence, and support through major life transitions.

Her style blends client-centred listening with practical strategies. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour approaches alongside mindfulness practices. Sessions can also include creative methods such as writing or sandtray where helpful.

Sarah pays particular attention to attention differences, autism, menopause changes and the effects of trauma on sleep. She also helps with grief, anxiety, relationship and identity questions, and with building resilience after burnout.

People meet her for clear tools as well as space to tell their story. She aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.

How Sarah's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person rather than directing them. Online sessions using this approach give space for a person to tell their story while the counsellor reflects and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical steps to change patterns; online CBT often uses worksheets, goal setting and homework tasks to support progress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) emphasises skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can be practised in session and applied between appointments for issues like anxiety, anger and burnout.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, then test methods that fit the person. That may mean mixing listening, skills work and practical exercises until a good fit is found.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits, and it can reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. It also allows for a mix of conversational check-ins and focused skills practice that can be carried into everyday routines.
