About Sarah Beacon

Sarah Beacon is a pluralistic integrative counsellor who brings formal training and lived experience to her therapeutic work. She holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice, an undergraduate degree in counselling, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Autism, postgraduate training that focuses on understanding autism. She also identifies as neurodiverse, which informs her empathy and understanding in sessions.

Sarah has worked for over 16 years in NHS support services, children’s services, and housing, and she uses that background to inform practical, grounded support. Her pluralistic integrative approach means she draws on a range of evidence-based techniques - including person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, and psychodynamic methods - and shapes therapy around each person rather than forcing a single model.

She has particular experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, whether they have a diagnosis, are exploring one, or are wondering if it might fit. Sarah also has a strong grounding in working with the LGBTQ+ community and is committed to providing a welcoming, affirming space. Warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, she centres each person’s voice, pace, and lived experience when addressing relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and other life changes. She invites people seeking clarity and growth to begin a collaborative journey together.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Sarah commonly uses person-centred work, which focuses on listening deeply, following the client’s pace, and helping people feel understood so they can explore identity, relationships, and self-esteem in a supportive way. She also applies cognitive-behavioural techniques to help identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for issues like anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Where helpful, psychodynamic ideas are used to explore longer-term patterns and early experiences that influence current relationships and emotional responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts her style as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access registered professionals from home, work, or elsewhere. These options make it easier to schedule support around busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each individual.
