Therapeutic approaches and online options with Sarah Bailey

Sarah draws on a blend of Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor support to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationships and how they shape current patterns of closeness and separation - it is useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s experience, offering empathic, non-directive support that helps people explore identity, self-esteem, and life direction. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and provides practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. As a BACP-registered professional, Sarah works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the approach as progress is made.

Online therapy with Sarah is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations within the United Kingdom. These options aim to increase flexibility and continuity of care while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical steps toward change.
