Sarah WillcocksBACP

Sarah Willcocks is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience who helps people facing pregnancy and childbirth related concerns alongside a wide range of emotional issues. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sarah offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about grief, trauma, anxiety, mood changes and relationship or intimacy worries.

Her way of working is warm and interactive. She listens without judgement and lets each person set the pace. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, achievable steps forward.

Sarah uses a Person-Centred approach alongside elements of solution-focused work and motivational interviewing. That means she aims to be honest and accepting, helps clients identify practical changes, and encourages motivation and clarity around goals.

She has supported people through bereavement, traumatic loss, PTSD and long-term mood conditions such as bipolar and depression. She has experience with clients who have lived with childhood or adult trauma, including physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and with those dealing with eating, sleeping and addictive behaviours.

Sarah works with issues such as stress, anger, ADHD, self-esteem, fertility concerns and first responder stress. Her aim is to support people to feel more able to cope and make decisions that fit their life.

To begin, the reader will be invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability. This helps match practical needs and personal preferences before starting work together.

How these approaches work online and what to expect

Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's experience, offering acceptance and honest engagement so the client can lead the pace and topics. This approach supports people navigating grief, trauma, mood changes and pregnancy-related emotional strains.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That method focuses on building motivation and clarifying goals, which can be useful for issues like addictions, lifestyle shifts and sticking to new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah sees therapy as collaborative and will help you and her decide which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It also lets people take part from different locations, which can help those managing work, childcare or recovery commitments.
