Sarah Leppard, BACP

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. Sarah works to make each conversation respectful and compassionate so people can take practical steps forward.

She supports people dealing with relationship strain, career difficulties, loss and motivation problems. Sarah also helps when coping with ongoing health challenges, grief and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is to tailor conversations to each person's needs rather than using a fixed script.

Sarah draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience at the centre of sessions. She uses narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns that repeat over time. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want brief, goal-oriented work to change specific problems.

In sessions Sarah aims to break worries into manageable steps. She listens, reflects, and then helps people try practical strategies that suit their everyday life. The emphasis is on small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

Sarah is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP. Sessions are carried out in English, and she is open to working with international clients. If someone prefers to begin, they can follow the site process to match and schedule a meeting.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with health challenges.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. By separating the problem from the person, it can make space for new meanings and choices around relationships, grief and identity issues.

Psychodynamic ideas help spot patterns that repeat across relationships and time. Noticing these patterns can clarify why certain situations feel familiar and open up different ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then collaborate on a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life and to link therapy with day-to-day routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone options when bandwidth is low. The site profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to see what will best fit your schedule and needs.
