Sarah Cree, BACP

Sarah Cree is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feel seen and understood. She works from a person-centred stance and aims to create a calm, compassionate space where clients can speak openly about what matters to them.

She has six years of private-practice experience and a decade of work supporting neurodivergent people. Sarah blends practical tools with reflective work, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour skills and mindfulness alongside expressive methods like writing and sandtray work.

Sarah offers focused help with issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also supports people with ADHD, autism, sleep disruption, identity questions and relationship challenges. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs rather than following a single template.

As a qualified mindfulness coach she uses breath and attention practices to help with emotional regulation and burnout recovery. She also works with practical day-to-day routines and thinking patterns to reduce stress and build resilience.

Sarah describes her style as warm and collaborative. She pays attention to history and present difficulties, and aims to help people notice small changes that make life easier. If someone wants clarity, connection or a gentle place to begin again, she offers steady support.

How different approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating acceptance so people can explore what matters to them; it helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical steps people can use to change unhelpful habits; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving relationships, which can be helpful for strong emotions and interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that fit the person. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and daily routines, and some formats let you use quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins or audio rather than video. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make therapy practical so it fits into everyday life without adding extra stress.
