Sally Humphries, BACP, NCPS

Sally Humphries is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She supports those navigating midlife shifts and the questions that often come with them. Sally aims to meet each person with warmth and steady attention so they can talk through what matters most.

She draws on 22 years of practice in the United Kingdom. Sally describes herself as a fellow traveller who walks alongside people for as long as needed. Her work often concentrates on building a trusting relationship first, then using that relationship to make sense of difficult feelings.

Sally works with a broad range of concerns, including family and relationship problems, trauma, loss and bereavement. She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, and supports people dealing with a cancer diagnosis and its emotional impact. She is comfortable addressing life purpose, divorce, infidelity and the emotional effects of pregnancy and postpartum changes.

In sessions she aims to be genuine, empathic and accepting. Conversations focus on what the client brings, and on helping them notice choices and options. The pace and direction come from the client’s needs and goals.

Her approach is practical and centred on the person in front of her. She helps people name their feelings, reflect on relationships, and make changes that fit their life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

How her client-centred approach works online

Sally works from a client-centred perspective, which means she focuses on understanding the person in front of her and building a strong therapeutic relationship. This approach helps when people are facing anxiety, depression, grief or midlife transitions because it starts with being heard and understood.

Her practice emphasises genuineness, empathy and acceptance. In conversation she helps clients name feelings, reflect on relationships and consider practical steps forward. That way of working suits issues like stress, family problems, life purpose questions and the emotional impact of illness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sally will help clients explore what feels most helpful, adapt the pace, and agree on goals together rather than imposing a plan. The working method can shift as needs change.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping therapy consistent during busy periods.
