Sarah Leppard

Sarah Leppard is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people navigate difficult moments such as relationship strain, loss, low self esteem and career uncertainty. She aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect and to tailor conversations to each person's situation.

Sarah listens with a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s priorities at the centre of the work. She often uses narrative ideas to help people untangle the stories they tell about themselves. These approaches can make it easier to see new choices when life feels stuck.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, practical goals. Together these methods support short term problem solving and deeper reflection as needed. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the client finds useful.

Sarah works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and parenting. Other areas she supports include addictions, chronic illness, fertility and family problems. Her aim is to help people build coping skills and move towards a more manageable day-to-day life.

If you are thinking about starting therapy she asks for a short discussion to understand your needs and to agree how to work together. The first step is a simple matching questionnaire followed by scheduling that suits you.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify their own priorities. Narrative Therapy invites people to look at the stories they tell about themselves and to separate problems from identity, which can be useful for relationship, self esteem and life-change issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to choose whether to emphasise listening, narrative work, psychodynamic reflection or solution-focused steps. This is decided from the client’s goals, background and what feels most helpful in early sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or by using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can suit people who prefer to talk from their own environment or who need more flexible timing, and it allows continuity when travel or relocation is a factor. Confirm the exact session options available before booking so arrangements match your needs.
