Sarah Lacon
Compassionate support for life’s difficult moments
About Sarah
Sarah Lacon helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, anger and career difficulties. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. Sarah aims to make the first step easier for someone feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help.
Background and approach
Sarah listens carefully and aims to build hope and clarity together. Her approach blends person-centred listening with practical techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Mindfulness tools are used to help people manage stress and stay present. Sarah also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want change but feel unsure where to start. Psychodynamic ideas help when patterns from the past are affecting current choices and relationships.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs. Sarah holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Work can include short-term coaching-style support or longer therapeutic conversations, depending on what the person wants. People can expect straightforward language, practical suggestions and steady empathy in sessions. The goal is to help people regain a sense of control, make manageable changes and feel more hopeful about the future.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathic, non-judgemental attention so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them. This approach helps with emotional struggles, low self-esteem and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions this might include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out small changes to behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then tailor a blend of approaches to fit the person. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online working offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days, and they let people choose the way of working that feels most manageable.
