About Sarah
Sarah Dixon is a UK-based counsellor with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression and big life changes. Sarah uses a respectful and sensitive approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who reaches out.
She prefers plain conversation and practical tasks rather than clinical language. Sessions are tailored to each person so therapy fits everyday life and specific goals.
Background and approach
Sarah listens for what matters most and then works with clients to build simple, usable strategies. Her background spans long-term work supporting people through loss, addiction and relationship problems. She also helps with issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, career strain and compassion fatigue.
Over time she has supported people facing attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, chronic illness and other complex situations. Sarah uses a mix of approaches to match the situation. She draws on methods that focus on values, present moment skills, emotional connection and practical thinking.
Sessions often combine talking, short exercises and home tasks to practise between meetings. People who choose Sarah tend to be looking for straightforward help that fits their life. She welcomes clients from across the UK and internationally, and works to make scheduling and communication as simple as possible.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward the things that matter most. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with big life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions; it can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns and communication. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, what has helped before and personal preferences. Then she will suggest ways to use one or two approaches and check in regularly to see what is working and what to adjust.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make contact easier around busy lives. Video lets people work face to face; phone can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a quieter way to talk. Chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring duties or travel commitments while still using established therapeutic methods.
