Sarah PorrittBACP

Sarah Porritt is a BACP counsellor with more than 10 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and young people and creates space to talk about what matters most. Her manner is down-to-earth and calm, aimed at helping people feel heard and steady during difficult times.

Her approach typically combines practical techniques with listening that respects each person’s pace. Sessions draw on evidence-based methods alongside mindfulness and a person-centred style. The focus is on making small, usable changes rather than overwhelming lists of tasks.

Sarah often supports people managing stress, anxiety and overthinking. She also helps those facing low mood, loss, and big life transitions. Relationship and communication problems, self-esteem and parenting pressures are common topics in her work.

She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, body image concerns, and difficulties linked to chronic illness or caregiving. Other areas she addresses include guilt and shame, control and impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and midlife changes.

Working with Sarah usually involves learning straightforward tools and practicing them between sessions. The pace is collaborative: she listens, suggests approaches, and helps people choose what fits their life. People who want clear guidance delivered in an empathetic, practical way may find this style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Sarah commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change them. CBT is practical and often aimed at easing anxiety, low mood and repetitive worry.

She also draws on person-centred ways of working, which focus on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. This helps people feel understood and decide what changes suit their life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also help people access regular support from where they already are, while the therapist and client decide together how to make sessions most useful.
