Sarah LeppardBACP

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and changes at work or home. Sarah aims to offer respectful and compassionate support while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.

She works in a straightforward, person-centred way that keeps the client's priorities at the centre of sessions. Sarah listens for what matters most and helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings. That might include ways to manage low mood, improve sleep, or address appetite and eating concerns.

She also uses narrative approaches to help people reframe difficult stories from their past. This can be useful for grief, trauma and feelings of emptiness. Psychodynamic ideas may be brought in to notice recurring patterns that affect relationships and day-to-day life.

Sarah helps people facing fertility, parenting and fatherhood issues, blended family challenges, and the strain of caring for someone with chronic illness. She supports people working through separation, domestic violence impacts, addiction concerns and compassion fatigue in caring roles.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Sarah asks people to be honest about what they need so therapy can be shaped around their goals. She encourages small changes that add up to lasting shifts in wellbeing.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this means sessions centre on the client's goals and the counsellor reflects understanding so people feel heard and respected. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Narrative Therapy works by separating a person from their problems and re-authoring painful stories. It can be helpful for grief, trauma, feelings of emptiness and relationship patterns by bringing fresh perspectives on old events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She will check in about what feels useful and adapt the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a workday. It can also allow sessions without needing to be on camera, or provide a straightforward way to continue support while traveling internationally.
