Sarah Charney, NCPS

Sarah Charney is an experienced psychotherapist accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She offers a compassionate, motivating therapeutic presence in which clients can explore difficult feelings and begin practical work toward change.

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness techniques, trauma stabilisation and trauma-focused therapy. She also provides a listening space for clients who simply need to be heard and supported while they make sense of their experiences.

Work together can focus on identifying and shifting entrenched patterns of thinking and behaviour that often have roots in childhood or arise after painful life events. This can help reduce emotional distress and replace unhelpful coping strategies with more adaptive ways of responding to stress, low mood, relationship difficulties and other challenges.

Sarah trained and worked in a clinical NHS setting alongside a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists, and she has experience in private practice and workplace settings. She holds two master’s degrees, including an MSc in Counselling Psychology and a master’s in Human Resource Management - Occupational Psychology, as well as a BSc in Social Sciences with a psychology major and additional postgraduate qualifications. Her listed credentials include MSc, MA, BSc and PG Dip - explained as Master of Science, Master of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Postgraduate Diploma respectively.

Her approach emphasises empathy, self-acceptance and collaborative problem solving, supporting clients through practical techniques and reflective exploration to help them move toward clearer thinking and meaningful change.
