About Sarah
Sarah Leppard is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide an ethical and person-focused practice. She meets people where they are and aims to help them take the next step when life feels overwhelming.
Her work centres on honest conversation. She listens for what matters to each person and tailors sessions to their needs. Common areas she supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sarah also works with concerns such as addiction, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, anger, depression and ADHD. Additional focuses include bereavement, chronic illness and disability, separation and divorce, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She helps people talk through what they are facing and find clearer ways forward.
She draws on Narrative Therapy, Client-Centred methods, Psychodynamic ideas and Solution-Focused work. That mix allows a focus on personal stories, present goals and the feelings that shape them. Sessions aim to be practical while also exploring deeper patterns when useful.
Sarah offers sessions by video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. She supports people both in the UK and internationally and adapts the format to each person’s life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step straightforward and respectful.

How Narrative and Client-Centred Work Translate Online
Sarah often uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. This approach can be useful for issues like identity, grief, relationship patterns and feeling stuck, by separating the person from the problem and finding alternative storylines.She also draws on Client-Centred principles, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the client's own priorities guide the work. That style supports people who want empathetic listening and to arrive at their own solutions. Psychodynamic ideas may be used too to gently explore past patterns when they affect current life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may shift focus over time from exploring meaning to setting practical goals, depending on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is good for more in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel, and let people choose the format that feels most manageable.
