About Sarah

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 13 years of experience. She focuses on common life pressures such as stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.

She frames the client as the expert in their story. Sessions are conversational and centred on the person's experience rather than on labels. Sarah listens for patterns in relationships and behaviour, then helps people spot small changes that can ease day-to-day strain. She encourages practical steps alongside reflection, so people leave with actions they can try between sessions.

Her background draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past relationships shape present responses. She uses client-centred conversation to keep the focus on what the client wants, and solution-focused techniques when clear, short-term goals are helpful. She also brings trauma-informed practice to work with distress linked to abuse or sudden loss.

People who come with anger concerns often explore underlying stress, unprocessed grief, or relationship patterns that fuel outbursts. Sarah supports naming those triggers and building safer ways to express frustration. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, helping people develop strategies that fit their life.

Her work has covered a broad range of personal and relational difficulties, including attachment issues, caregiving stress, body image, and separation. Sessions are offered in English and based in the United Kingdom.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current responses. It helps people understand why they react strongly to certain situations and supports building steadier ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. This approach helps people clarify their priorities and make decisions that feel right for them. Psychodynamic ideas explore repeating patterns and emotional impulses rooted in past experience, which can be useful when anger or repeated conflict feels unexplained. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods as the client's goals and circumstances change. Sessions can mix ways of working so practical steps sit alongside deeper reflection. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They can also let someone use video or phone to match how comfortable they feel with being on camera. Registered and accredited professionals often use online appointments to keep continuity of care when life becomes hectic, and the therapist will talk through which format best suits the client's needs and routine.
