About Sarah

Sarah Cree is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction, LGBT concerns, parenting strain, anger, sleep and eating issues, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Sarah describes an integrative, person-centred style. She draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour approaches, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions often mix talking, practical skills and short exercises rather than only reflecting on history.

She has focused experience supporting neurodivergent people and those coping with trauma-linked sleep disruption, and she names ADHD and autism among areas she works with. She also offers support around abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence and family of origin concerns.

In practice Sarah uses mindfulness and emotion regulation tools alongside CBT-style thought work and DBT strategies for distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. She mentions creative approaches such as expressive writing and sandtray alongside inner-child work when that fits a person’s needs.

Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. People leave with specific coping skills, clearer next steps, and short-term plans they can try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the site.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Sarah blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy in practical ways. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress. Dialectical behaviour therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving communication in tense moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sarah will help clients decide which tools to try first based on their goals, day-to-day pressures and what has or hasn’t helped before. The process is collaborative - she uses skill-teaching, short exercises and planning to see what fits.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions that focus on practicing skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use these formats to help people build practical coping strategies that slot into everyday life.
