Sarah Charney

Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist with ten years of clinical experience. She holds the NCPS credential from the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Parents reading this will find straightforward language and practical support for concerns about body image, eating and food-related issues, and self-esteem.

Sarah uses a mix of talk-based methods and skills work. She helps people spot and change thinking patterns that keep problems going. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises and grounding techniques to manage overwhelming feelings.

Her background includes work alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists in an NHS clinical setting. She also has experience in workplace wellbeing and supporting adults in private practice. This range helps her connect day-to-day stress with deeper emotional patterns.

Sarah trained in counselling psychology at master’s level and completed further postgraduate study in therapeutic approaches such as CBT and ACT. She draws on these approaches to tailor the work to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps and gradual change. Conversations aim to build insight and coping skills while also attending to feelings that come from early attachment and life events. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and taking actions that matter. It helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and body image concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches skills to shift those patterns, often using practical exercises between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current feelings and connection styles and can help with interpersonal difficulties and abandonment worries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That way the plan is tailored and adjusts as progress is made. The relationship and the fit between method and need are central to useful change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and daily life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use cameras or phone only if that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a pattern of sessions that fits into a person’s routine.
