About Sarah Dinenage
Sarah Dinenage is a registered Psychodynamic Counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience in organisational settings and private practice. She combines a psychodynamic perspective with attachment-informed thinking to help people understand how early experiences shape current relationships, emotional responses, and repeated patterns that can contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and related areas such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders and narcissism.
Her practice focuses on helping people see themselves more clearly so they can make sense of what troubles them and reduce its impact on daily life. Sarah listens not only to what is said but also to what is left unsaid, creating a space to explore underlying drivers and patterns. She values a genuine, humane style and believes that a sense of humour can be a helpful part of the therapeutic process. If someone is ready to take the first step, she encourages them to get in touch to begin their work together.
She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy practice.

Attachment-Informed Care Through Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people explore how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and the ways they relate to others. It focuses on understanding attachment styles, how unmet needs from childhood affect adult relationships, and supports work on issues such as abandonment, trust, and repeating unhealthy relationship patterns.Psychodynamic-informed work looks at underlying feelings, unconscious patterns and the influence of past experiences on present behaviour. This approach supports deeper exploration of recurring themes like depression, anxiety, family conflict, or trauma by helping clients make sense of what drives their emotional responses and relationship choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sarah collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work unfolds so the client and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent contact is possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access support across distances, and maintain continuity of care with registered professionals regardless of location.
