About Sarah
Sarah Leppard is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on practical problems such as relationships, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and coping with life changes. Sarah also supports people dealing with grief, career difficulties, and anger.
Her approach starts with listening to what matters to the person in front of her. She uses client-centred conversations to help people clarify what they want to change. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable steps rather than long theoretical discussion.
Sarah draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences and the stories they tell about themselves. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term, goal-oriented work that produces practical approaches for everyday life.
People come to Sarah for a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including anxiety, stress, addiction-related issues, sleeping and eating problems, and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues such as chronic illness, bereavement, divorce and parental stress.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and down to earth. Sarah asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps people test different ways of responding. The emphasis is on small changes that can make a difference to daily life.
To begin, the service uses a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling step so a first appointment can be arranged. International clients may be accepted; confirm the current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The counsellor follows what you say and helps you find your own answers, useful for issues like low self-esteem and relationship strain.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Rewriting those narratives can reduce shame, resentment, or patterns that keep anger simmering.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s life. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm which options are available when you book. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to offer shorter check-ins, regular weekly work, or focused single-session problem solving depending on what suits you.
