Sarah Slade
Practical support for anxiety and life change
About Sarah
Sarah Slade helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief, build self-esteem, and navigate career or life changes. She also supports people facing low mood and family tensions. Sarah presents a calm, respectful approach that aims to make difficult conversations easier to start.
Sarah uses straightforward, person-focused methods. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the individual. From there she works with clients to set simple, practical goals that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to suit each person rather than following a fixed script. Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy means she follows the client’s lead and pays close attention to what they say.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different ways of coping in real life. Sarah trained and practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of professional experience working with adults on common mental health and life concerns.
People who come to Sarah typically want practical support, clearer thinking about next steps, and a steadier sense of confidence. She encourages small, achievable changes and checks in on progress as sessions continue.

How Sarah's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the person says, asks clarifying questions, and supports them in naming what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support and a space to make sense of feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses in everyday situations. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with practical challenges at work or home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a way forward together based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and hold a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, journalling between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to fit therapy around work, travel, or a busy home life.
