About Sarah
Sarah Bates is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related concerns such as self-esteem, addictions and sleep problems.
Sarah frames her work as straightforward conversation and practical support. She adapts discussions and plans to what each person needs, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with time spent on coping skills and problem-solving.
Parents and carers who are worried about mood, anger, or changes in family life can expect clear steps to try between meetings. People concerned about intimacy, LGBT issues, or the impact of chronic stress are offered practical strategies and ways to manage day-to-day functioning.
She also works with people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression. Where relevant, Sarah discusses behaviours around eating and sleeping and helps plan small changes that can make a difference.
Sarah asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. If you need to know which session formats are currently offered, please confirm before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and what to expect from online sessions
Sarah works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and changes in daily life. One common approach she uses concentrates on building coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, behavioural experiments and manageable activity scheduling to reduce overwhelm. Another frequently used approach addresses traumatic experiences with gradual exposure and grounding techniques to help reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation helps shape whether the sessions emphasise skills training, structured exercises, or exploratory talk work, and adjustments are made as needed over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and apply new strategies between meetings.
