About Sarah

Psychotherapist (NCPS), 10 years’ experience. Sarah Charney helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She uses several therapeutic methods to address unhelpful thinking and coping patterns.

Sarah draws on cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance-based methods to help people notice and change patterns that cause distress. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connection and trust. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are part of her toolkit when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.

Her background includes work in NHS clinical settings alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists. She has experience in private practice and workplace settings, and that variety informs practical, problem-focused work with adults. Sarah holds a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology and other postgraduate qualifications.

Sessions focus on identifying thinking patterns learned in childhood or after difficult events, and then trying alternative ways of responding. Conversations can include practical exercises, mindfulness practices and behavioural experiments. The aim is clearer thinking and fewer unhelpful behaviours.

People will find a direct, structured approach that combines talking with skills practice. Before scheduling, clients should confirm current session options and subscription details.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life-direction questions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current trust and connection. It can be helpful when relationship difficulties, abandonment fears or attachment wounds affect day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and then agree a direction together. That collaborative process may combine ideas from different methods as progress is assessed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to skills practice and worksheets that can be used between meetings, which helps carry learning into everyday life.
