About Sarah

Sarah King NCPS is a person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults aged 18 and over. People come to her for relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, depression, anxiety and codependency-related patterns.

Sarah describes her approach as collaborative and rooted in Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on the person in front of her - their feelings, values and everyday reality. She does not give direct advice or fixed answers. Instead she helps people talk through what matters and notice what feels right for them.

She has experience supporting survivors of sexual assault, people with trauma responses, and those facing bereavement or suicidal thoughts. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, grief, anger, low self-esteem and caregiver stress.

Sarah works inclusively and is gender affirming. She notes being neurodivergent herself and uses that lived perspective to inform how she listens and responds. She may suggest reflective exercises and some psycho-educational material to use between sessions, offered with no obligation.

Sessions are intended to help people gain clarity about their relationships and patterns of putting others first. The emphasis is on understanding rather than fixing, and on helping people make choices that fit their own lives.

How sessions work

How her person-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead. It helps people who feel stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, codependency, or repeated relationship difficulties by making room to name feelings and consider personal choices. In practical terms she may offer reflective exercises and brief psycho-educational material to try between sessions. These are optional and designed to support the conversations that happen in sessions rather than replace them. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the approach as the work continues. This is a collaborative decision made together, not a fixed programme imposed on the client. The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel, or check in with a shorter session when time is tight. It can also allow people to choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or times when they can focus without commuting.
