About Sarah
BACP, NCPS. Sarah Guy has 12 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and more than 4,500 client hours supporting people with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and coping with life changes.
Sarah works in an integrative way, combining approaches to suit each person. She uses practical conversations and reflective listening to help people make sense of difficult feelings and situations. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can feel achievable.
Her background includes work in a relationship agency, hospice care and a cancer centre. She also runs a private practice and provides clinical supervision to other counsellors. This mix of settings informs her work with issues such as caregiver stress, terminal illness, bereavement and complex life transitions.
Sessions cover a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas, including attachment issues, blended family challenges, chronic pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation and feelings of emptiness.
Sarah describes people as the experts of their own stories and aims to help them use their strengths to move forward. She works in a down-to-earth manner and sometimes has a cockapoo who may appear briefly on camera during remote sessions.
To begin, users should confirm current session options before booking and follow the service process to complete a matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Approaches used in remote counselling and how they help
Sarah works integratively and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address presenting problems. One approach focuses on practical coping strategies and behavioural adjustments to reduce stress and anxiety; this involves setting small, manageable tasks and reviewing what helps in daily life. Another approach emphasises processing loss and trauma through careful, paced conversation and grounding methods to help people tolerate difficult memories and emotions.Finding the best approach is treated as a collaboration. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working, try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences, and review progress together to adjust the plan as required.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Remote counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, as other session styles may need less bandwidth or camera use. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose the most practical arrangement for your circumstances.
