Sarah Leppard, BACP

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career concerns and major life changes. She offers a respectful, sensitive and compassionate approach and adapts conversations to each person’s situation.

In sessions she focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that affect mood and decision-making. She helps people talk through loss, motivation problems and stressful life transitions in straightforward terms. The emphasis is on clear, practical dialogue rather than jargon or complex theory.

Her background includes work with people coping with anxiety, depression, addiction and grief, as well as challenges around parenting, intimacy and family tensions. She also supports those managing chronic illness, caregiver strain and fertility or cancer-related concerns. This range has shaped a flexible, person-led style.

Therapy sessions draw on Client-Centred, Narrative, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused ways of working. That means she listens closely, helps people tell the stories that shape their choices, looks at underlying patterns, and jointly sets small goals for change. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Sarah uses plain language and steady support to help people find clearer thinking and kinder routines. If someone wants to explore their thoughts, behaviours and day-to-day habits, she offers a calm space to do that and to build practical steps forward.

How these approaches guide online conversations

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space where the person leads the conversation; it helps with self-esteem, relationship worries and decisions about life changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps to reframe those stories so they feel less stuck; this can be useful for things like grief, shame or role changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to build momentum and tackle immediate problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with the client to identify what feels helpful and adjust the way sessions are run based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

The original profile does not specify exact online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which is useful for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor online sessions to focus on thoughts, routines and small practical changes that carry into everyday life.
