Integrative approaches and online therapy options
Sarah practises an integrative approach that blends evidence-based techniques to fit each person's circumstances. This means methods are selected and adapted to address issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life transitions rather than relying on a single fixed model.She applies trauma-informed ways of working to support people who have experienced abuse or overwhelming events. These approaches focus on stabilising symptoms, building coping skills, and creating safety in the therapeutic relationship while processing distress at a pace that suits the client. She also offers grief-focused support shaped by experience in hospice and cancer care, helping people navigate loss, complicated mourning, and the practical and emotional changes that follow bereavement.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. Sarah and the client explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, health conditions, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access skilled registered professionals from home, and integrate therapy into day-to-day life without travel.
