About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sarah also offers support around codependency, attachment and concerns such as body image, addiction and separation.
Sarah draws on a mix of well known approaches including cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical skills and attachment-based work. In sessions she helps people notice thinking patterns learned in childhood or after painful events. Then she works with them to change those patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her background includes experience in NHS clinical settings alongside multidisciplinary teams of psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists. She also has worked in workplace and private contexts. Sarah holds an MSc in Counselling Psychology and additional postgraduate study in therapeutic methods such as CBT, DBT, ACT and related approaches.
In a typical session she listens, helps name thoughts and feelings, and practices skills people can use between meetings. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, behavioural experiments, and exercises to improve communication and boundaries. The focus is practical change rather than labels.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and feelings of emptiness. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, including people-pleasing and difficulty with boundaries; it helps name those patterns and try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses, with different tools used at different times.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online sessions also let people use mindfulness and behavioural exercises between meetings and practise communication skills in real time. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt exercises to work well over distance and help clients bring therapy into day-to-day routines.
