About Sarah Stewart
Sarah Stewart offers a welcoming therapeutic space where people can feel seen and respected without fear of judgement. At Holding Space Counselling and Psychotherapy she provides support for a wide range of concerns, helping clients process difficult experiences, explore parts of themselves they are unhappy with, and work toward meaningful change.
She is a fully qualified Person-Centred and Experiential therapist with training in Psychology and Psychotherapy. Sarah also holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.
Clients can expect warm, genuine connection and a non-judgmental atmosphere that places their experience at the centre of the work. Her style is collaborative rather than prescriptive - she aims to help people discover their own answers rather than being told what to do. Throughout sessions she balances acceptance with tentative challenge, occasionally introducing psychoeducation or psychological frameworks to illuminate patterns and possibilities.
Exploring inner conflict and the different voices or selves that make up a person is a core part of her practice. She adapts the way she works to suit each client and discusses goals and methods openly as therapy progresses. Sarah currently meets with clients online via video, audio and live messaging sessions, and she offers messaging only as structured live sessions rather than as an unstructured substitute for therapy.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and inner work
Sarah works with approaches that suit the individual needs of each client. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, empathetic environment where people can explore their feelings and values at their own pace; it is helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Internal Family Systems invites clients to notice and dialogue with the different parts or voices inside them to reduce inner conflict and build greater self-understanding, which can support healing from trauma, attachment wounds, or patterns of avoidance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with practical actions to help people clarify what matters to them and commit to meaningful steps forward, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and Sarah treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, listen to a client's goals and preferences, and adapt the methods used so they feel helpful and appropriate.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible, allowing people to connect from home or between commitments. These formats support regular appointments, make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, and allow registered professionals to offer tailored care in ways that suit each person's routine and comfort.
