Sally Humphreys
Experienced client-centred counsellor for trauma and stress
About Sally
Sally Humphreys offers a client-centred approach that helps people feel heard and understood. She uses person-centred methods to guide conversations and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurt is central to a person’s struggles. Sally draws on nine years of practice in the United Kingdom and speaks English.
Sally keeps sessions calm and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people name what is difficult. She will follow the pace each person prefers and focus on practical next steps alongside emotional work.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She has supported people affected by trauma and abuse and has run a bereavement support group. She also has experience connected to sexual violence through work with a rape crisis organisation.
Sally describes herself as gentle and supportive. In sessions she offers an open, non-judgemental space to talk about things like attachment, abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, or the impact of family problems. She adapts the therapy to fit each person’s needs.
She provides sessions both online and in person from her UK practice. She continues professional development through courses and reading to keep her skills current. International clients can arrange remote work under her UK contract.
People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions. Sally works with the issues and diversity people bring, including LGBT concerns and challenges such as infidelity or divorce and separation.

Client-Centred and Trauma-Focused Therapy Online
Sally uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a calm, listening space where a person leads the conversation and feels accepted. This approach suits people who need a steady, empathetic presence while they sort through feelings and decisions.She also offers Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. This approach works by gently addressing traumatic memories and their effects, helping people reduce their hold on present reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sally will talk through goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then suggest a way forward. Decisions about pace and techniques are made collaboratively to fit each person.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever a person is based. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits people who prefer writing or want flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or distance is a factor.
