About Sarah
BACP, NCPS. Five years' experience. Sarah Nelson works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns using client-centred and solution-focused approaches. She also supports people with family issues, self-esteem, addictions, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, career questions, coping with life changes and ADHD. Sessions are described in her biography as a conversational counselling style that lets people set the pace.
Sarah offers person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the individual. She uses solution-focused techniques too, which aim to identify practical steps and small changes a person can try between sessions. Together these approaches help people explore feelings and test out ways forward in short, focused conversations.
Her training includes Counselling Level 4 Diploma and a Solution Focused Therapy Certificate alongside a Counselling Couples Certificate and a Certificate in Remote Counselling. She is listed with BACP and NCPS as noted in her biography. That training is used to shape how she works rather than to promise specific outcomes.
Sessions are described as conversational and paced by the client. Sarah emphasises an impartial, non-judgemental manner and talks through relationship difficulties, loneliness and the practical steps someone can take next. The emphasis is on understanding current problems and making small, manageable changes.

Working online with client-centred and solution-focused methods
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk and be understood without pressure to change immediately. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and finding what already works for a person. It is often used for clear goals like managing stress or making a plan for next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and current concerns with the client and decide together which methods to try. This means sessions can shift between listening and practical problem-solving as needed.
The original biography notes a Certificate in Remote Counselling but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at a busy point in the day, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that is not wanted. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt practical arrangements to a person's schedule and goals.
