Sarah Dinenage , BACP

Sarah Dinenage is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and combines clinical training with practical experience to support clients through complex emotional challenges.

Sarah helps clients make sense of how early attachments and childhood experiences shape current patterns in relationships and self-perception. By exploring the roots of recurring difficulties, she aims to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her work often addresses issues such as abandonment and attachment struggles, communication problems, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, and concerns linked to military service and mood disorders.

In sessions Sarah listens for both what is said and what is left unsaid, creating a collaborative space where clients can safely examine deeper drivers of their distress. She brings a warm, down-to-earth manner and a sense of humour to the therapeutic process, favouring a real and relational style over a formal clinical distance. Those who choose to work with her can expect a thoughtful, compassionate partner in the process of change. To begin, prospective clients are encouraged to get in touch and take the first step toward clearer understanding and more effective living.

Attachment-Based Support Delivered Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of feeling and relating. It helps people explore how childhood attachment experiences influence adult relationships, emotional responses and repeated behaviour patterns, making it useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and long-standing patterns of anxiety or low mood.

In online sessions Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify the approaches that fit their needs and goals. She will discuss how attachment-focused work could help and adapt the process according to the client's preferences and circumstances, aiming to find the best therapeutic fit through joint planning and regular review.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy lives, mobility limits, or who live far from in-person services. These options allow registered professionals like Sarah to provide consistent, ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs, so clients can engage in meaningful therapeutic work in ways that suit them.
