About Sarah
Sarah Dunn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety and family-related concerns. She works with people coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sarah aims to make the first step less daunting and offers calm, practical support throughout the process.
With three years of professional experience and a BACP credential, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild confidence. Sarah believes clients are the experts in their own stories and she looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are centred on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
In sessions she listens closely, helps set realistic goals, and supports people as they try new ways of coping. She also works with issues such as body image, communication problems, addiction, eating and food-related concerns, and workplace stress. Sarah pays attention to both emotional safety and what can be changed day to day.
People who come for help with family difficulties or relationship strain will find a direct, respectful approach. She also supports those dealing with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and pregnancy-related worries. The aim is to make challenges feel more manageable and to strengthen everyday routines.
Her work suits people who want practical tools and thoughtful listening. Sarah encourages small steps and reflects on progress together. If you are ready to begin, she guides you through the booking steps and what to expect in early sessions.
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
Evidence-based techniques used in her work aim to give clear, practical ways to manage problems. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This helps with worries, social fear and low self-esteem by encouraging small behaviour changes.Another approach emphasises building coping skills and routines after trauma or major life changes. It involves pacing recovery, learning steadier ways to manage intrusive memories or strong emotions, and returning to meaningful activities at a manageable pace.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion usually happens over the first few sessions and is reviewed as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a practical plan that fits daily life and responsibilities.
