About Sarah

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem. Her work also covers depression, addictions, grief and issues around intimacy and family life.

She uses approaches that look at how early attachments and repeated patterns affect current relationships. In sessions she focuses on helping people recognise those patterns and the feelings behind them. This includes looking at codependency, abandonment worries and difficulties with trusting others.

Sarah favours a client-centred way of working. That means she follows what each person brings and helps them find their own solutions. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand long-standing behaviour and on solution-focused techniques for practical steps that reduce day-to-day distress.

Conversations are direct and grounded. People can expect to talk about patterns, boundaries, and practical coping strategies. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that make daily life more manageable.

Before booking, readers should confirm current session options. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and the first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and expectations. Online conversations can be used to identify those patterns and to try out different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings and supports them in finding their own solutions; in remote sessions this often means using the session to reflect, make decisions and arrange small experiments between meetings.

Psychodynamic ideas help uncover repeated behaviours that cause distress, such as people-pleasing or difficulties saying no. In online sessions these themes can be noticed and worked through with questions and gentle interpretation. Sarah aims to explore what matters most and to agree practical steps together so the work feels useful and manageable.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit into work and family life more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will discuss session length, frequency and how to make remote meetings work around everyday commitments during the first booking step.
