About Sarah Semper
Sarah Semper is a registered integrative counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 14 years of experience and holds BACP registration (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has supported people across the lifespan, working with clients from age 3 to 83 on issues including stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy challenges, and struggles with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
Her background in arts psychotherapy means she frequently combines creative methods - such as art, imagery, and other expressive techniques - with conversational therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This blended approach allows sessions to be tailored to individual needs and learning styles, offering alternatives to talk-only work when that is helpful.
Sarah focuses on empowering individuals to build a stronger sense of self-worth, clarify emotions, and move toward a more balanced and satisfying life. She aims to provide practical coping strategies alongside reflective space for exploring patterns and past experiences. Whether addressing grief, trauma, family and parenting concerns, or life transitions, she seeks to help people find clarity, resilience, and greater wellbeing over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people explore attachment styles, build trust, and improve connection in close relationships, which can be useful for issues like intimacy, abandonment, and family dynamics.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's own experience and personal growth. The therapist offers empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so individuals can explore feelings, strengthen self-worth, and make choices aligned with their values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It is often used alongside other approaches to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Sarah collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses to ensure it remains helpful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Registered professionals can adapt interventions to work effectively through these channels, helping clients maintain continuity of care and progress toward their goals.
