Sarah Henderson, NCPS

Sarah Henderson is a counsellor who focuses on client-led conversations and practical strategies. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and issues linked to LGBTQI+ identity. Sarah uses a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to make each session feel personal and straightforward.

Sarah describes her work as collaborative. She tailors conversations and plans to the person in front of her, helping them set small, achievable steps. Sessions may include looking at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way, and practising different ways of coping day to day.

With four years of experience and NCPS credentialing, she brings a couple of years of focused practice to common life challenges. That background includes supporting people with grief, trauma and changes that come with illness or chronic pain. She also helps people dealing with addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviours. Together these approaches aim to make practical, real-world changes rather than only talking about feelings.

People often come to Sarah for help with parenting stress, career worries, attachment and intimacy concerns, or identity questions such as gender dysphoria. She works with individuals on communication problems, blended family issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

How Sarah blends client-centred work and CBT for online therapy

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to put the person’s priorities at the centre of each session. This means listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and shaping conversations around the client’s goals and values.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that cause distress and to try practical changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful cycles of behaviour, and it can produce clear exercises and steps to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which mix of listening-focused and CBT techniques feels most helpful. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses, and plans can be adjusted to suit changing needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. It can also let people keep regular momentum in treatment when circumstances change, while the therapist adapts methods to what works best for each person.
