About Sarah

BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) member, Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society and accredited with IPHM. Sarah Cree has six years of professional experience in counselling and additional experience working with neurodivergent people over a decade. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Sarah works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and a wide range of other concerns including ADHD, bipolar and career stress. She describes her approach as person-centred and trauma-informed, and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas in sessions.

Her practice includes work with adoption and foster care matters, attachment and family of origin issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, domestic violence, and related areas. She also offers support around parenting, sleep disruption linked to trauma or neurodivergence, and menopause transitions.

Sessions include reflective conversation and practical skills. Sarah mentions using expressive methods such as sandtray and writing alongside inner-child approaches when these are helpful. She also offers mindfulness coaching aimed at emotional regulation, burnout recovery and resilience-building.

Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a prospective client is asked to use the online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client's perspective, focusing on attentive listening and helping people identify their own solutions. This approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns where feeling understood matters.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy informs her work on emotional regulation and coping skills, offering specific strategies for managing intense feelings and interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss different methods with the client and agree together which ones fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online counselling can help fit sessions into everyday life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule during work breaks, or allowing a quieter setting that suits the client. Practical choices such as shorter check-ins or audio-only options can be discussed to match personal circumstances and technology constraints.
