Sarah Labbett
Calm, practical support for everyday struggles
About Sarah
Sarah Labbett is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings five years of professional experience supporting people facing a wide range of concerns. Sarah aims to offer a calm, respectful space where someone can talk about what feels hard right now.
Sarah has worked with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people dealing with relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and issues around self‑esteem and intimacy.
Background and approach
Her practice covers other challenges too, including addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and career or life change stress. Her approach is flexible and focused on the person in front of her. She uses client‑centred listening to understand what matters, and draws on cognitive behavioural and mindfulness ideas to develop practical steps between sessions.
She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time, plus solution‑focused techniques to set clear goals. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Sarah aims to be direct when needed and gentle when people feel vulnerable.
She works with people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, and with those coping with caregiver strain or compassion fatigue. People who prefer straightforward language and a practical plan often find her style helpful. The focus is on small, manageable changes and on building clearer ways to cope with stress and difficult feelings.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sarah draws on client‑centred therapy to create a listening space where the person's priorities lead the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and helping them find their own solutions.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and increase present‑moment awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss options and adjust methods based on the person's needs, goals and preferences so the plan fits their life and feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video calls allow a face‑to‑face feel, phone sessions can work well with low bandwidth or when hands‑free is needed, and live chat or messaging suit short check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care.
