Sarah Guy, BACP, NCPS

Sarah Guy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She has accumulated over 4,500 client hours and supports people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes.

Sarah believes people are the experts on their own stories and that they already carry strengths to help them move forward. She describes herself as warm, empathic and down to earth. Her approach aims to make the work feel manageable and practical rather than overwhelming.

Her work history includes roles at a relationship agency, hospice care and a cancer centre, alongside private practice. She also provides clinical supervision, supporting other counsellors in their professional work.

Sarah works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor sessions to individual needs. In sessions she focuses on listening carefully, helping clients name what matters most and trying out ways to cope and change that fit each person’s life.

She can help people dealing with attachment worries, blended family issues, cancer-related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain, illness and disability, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, relationship endings, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, family conflicts, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life issues, and isolation or loneliness. She aims to support people to feel more able to manage day-to-day challenges and make clearer choices.

Sarah works privately from home and sometimes has her cockapoo pop into view on camera. She invites people to take the first step toward change and offers supportive guidance as they do so.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online counselling

Sarah describes her work as integrative and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions. Two common approaches she draws on are trauma-informed methods, which help people understand and manage reactions after difficult events, and grief-focused support, which helps people name losses and find ways to cope day to day. These approaches are practical and aim to make distress easier to live with while people work towards change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the tools she uses over time as clients try things out and give feedback about what helps.

Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit more easily around work, medical appointments or caregiving. It can save travel time, make shorter check-ins possible and allow sessions from different locations when that helps with scheduling.
