Sarah Mayberry, BACP

Sarah Mayberry is an integrative counsellor with 18 years of experience who offers compassionate, client-focused support to both adults and teenagers. She combines Person-Centred methods with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic thinking to tailor each session to an individual’s needs and goals. Sarah places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work, creating a collaborative, non-judgemental space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at a comfortable pace.

Her Person-Centred approach ensures clients are listened to and understood, while CBT is used to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic ideas provide a way to explore how earlier life experiences may be influencing present difficulties. Together these approaches allow Sarah to offer practical strategies alongside deeper reflection, matching the work to what each person needs.

Sarah supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship and family concerns, changes such as divorce or separation, and issues around self-esteem and body image. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness. She is registered with the BACP, which denotes professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her practice is delivered fully online with flexible appointments available during daytime, evenings and weekends, enabling clients to access therapy from their own space and schedule.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Person-Centred methods alongside psychodynamic understanding to offer flexible online care. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and can be especially useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. The Person-Centred approach emphasizes being listened to and understood, helping clients build self-esteem and clarify their own goals through a supportive therapeutic relationship. Psychodynamic ideas explore how past experiences may shape present reactions, which can be helpful for relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and long-standing emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sarah works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She discusses the options, adjusts the plan as therapy progresses, and combines techniques to match each person’s needs, goals and preferences.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, Sarah makes therapy accessible for people with busy lives or mobility constraints. These online options provide scheduling flexibility, the ability to receive support from one’s own environment and multiple ways to communicate so clients and registered professionals can choose what feels most helpful.
