Sarah Guy, BACP, NCPS

Sarah Guy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience and more than 4,500 client hours. She believes people bring strengths to therapy and works alongside them to find practical ways forward. Sarah aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming.

Her background includes work in a relationship agency, hospice care and a cancer centre, as well as private practice. She also provides clinical supervision, supporting other counsellors in their work. These roles have given her wide exposure to loss, end-of-life issues and the stresses that come with caring for others.

Sarah works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailoring sessions to each person. She describes her style as warm, empathic and down to earth. Sessions tend to focus on the person’s strengths and practical next steps as well as understanding difficult feelings.

She has particular experience helping people with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and coping with life changes. Additional areas she supports include attachment issues, blended family concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress among others.

Sarah works privately from home and occasionally her cockapoo will appear on camera. She encourages people to reach out when they feel ready and says small changes often lead to meaningful differences over time.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Sarah describes her work as integrative, which means she blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person. Two common approaches she draws on are brief problem-solving work, which focuses on identifying practical steps to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning, and grief-informed counselling, which helps people make sense of loss and find ways to cope while adjusting to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to understand your goals, preferences and practical needs, and then suggest ways of working that feel manageable. If one method does not fit, adjustments are made so the work stays relevant and useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can slot into a lunch break, or video sessions can remove travel time. Some people prefer audio-only conversations when they do not want to be on camera, while others benefit from a longer weekly slot to focus in depth. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist to find what suits daily routines and goals.
