About Sarah

Sarah Dunn works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She supports those coping with trauma, family conflict, low self-esteem and challenges around motivation. Sarah uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.

Sarah has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She believes each person knows their own story and that therapy is a chance to use personal strengths to move forward. Sarah offers a calm, collaborative space where clients can talk through what is hard and try out new ways of coping.

In sessions she helps people work through relationship strain, body image worries, substance concerns and eating and food-related issues in ways that fit everyday life. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, workplace stress and social anxiety. The focus is practical change rather than jargon-filled explanations.

Sarah aims to be down-to-earth and encouraging. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small, doable goals. Her approach is steady and paced to each client's needs, with an emphasis on clearer communication, problem solving and building confidence.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange appointments according to the therapist's schedule. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps people break big issues into smaller steps and try practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach involves exploring unhelpful thinking patterns and building more helpful responses, which can aid self-esteem, social anxiety and coping after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and pick or combine methods that feel like the best fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that suit quieter surroundings and different scheduling needs. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods used in face-to-face work to online sessions to help people move towards their goals.
