About Sarah
She holds advanced academic qualifications, including a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Master’s in Human Resource Management with a focus on Occupational Psychology, together with additional diplomas in cognitive and integrative therapies. This combination of academic training and hands-on NHS experience allows her to address a wide range of concerns, from anxiety, depression and stress to relationship difficulties, trauma and issues with self-esteem and body image.
Sara offers a compassionate, motivating space where clients can explore how long-established patterns of thinking and coping developed in childhood or after difficult life events contribute to current distress. Through collaborative work she helps clients build insight, develop more helpful coping strategies and move toward meaningful change. She accepts referrals for adults seeking support with relationship problems, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, eating and substance-related concerns, and other emotional challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sarah Charney commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression and stress, offering practical strategies for managing symptoms and building skills. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed actions, which can support clients facing relationship challenges, low self-esteem or ongoing distress.
She also draws on principles from Attachment-Based Therapy when relevant, exploring how early relationship experiences shape current patterns in intimacy, abandonment fears and communication. This approach can help clients understand relational dynamics and develop more secure ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey - Sarah works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs and preferences so that the plan feels like a good fit.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around work, family and travel commitments. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, the ability to continue work during life transitions, and multiple ways to stay connected with a registered professional depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
