About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has ten years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. She also addresses linked issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and body image concerns.
Sarah uses a range of practical methods to help people notice patterns and test new ways of coping. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Attachment-Based approaches, and uses mindfulness and trauma-informed tools where useful. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits formed in childhood or after difficult events.
Her background includes training and work alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists in clinical NHS settings, and experience in workplace wellbeing. She holds a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology and postgraduate study in evidence-based therapies. That blend of clinical and workplace experience informs a practical approach to everyday problems.
In sessions she helps people practise skills for managing intense emotions and for shifting behaviours that no longer serve them. She can offer direct techniques from CBT and DBT alongside reflective, client-centred dialogue. Many people bring worries about relationships, lingering shame or guilt, and her focus is on clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory.
To begin she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for guilt that centres on identity or ongoing shame about who someone is. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and repetitive self-critical thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand and shift habits in relationships and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on the client’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where methods can be combined, practised and reviewed together.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with clinical and workplace experience, can use online sessions to teach skills from CBT, ACT and DBT and to support people working through shame, guilt and relationship issues.
