Sarah Mayberry

Sarah Mayberry is a BACP counsellor who offers compassionate support for adults and teenagers facing eating and food-related issues alongside stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low mood. She focuses on what matters to each person and helps them make sense of difficult feelings and behaviours. Sessions are tailored to individual goals and life circumstances.

Sarah works in a collaborative, person-centred way. She listens without judgement and helps people feel heard. That foundation is combined with practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking and patterns.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours, and on psychodynamic ideas that consider how earlier life experiences can shape current difficulties. She blends these approaches to match what each person needs.

Typical concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation, control issues, divorce and communication problems.

Sarah has worked in counselling for 18 years and uses that experience to guide sessions at a pace that suits the individual. She aims to help people build resilience and find practical ways to cope with day-to-day challenges.

Approaches you might meet in online sessions

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist creates space for people to talk at their own pace and feel heard, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding, which can support issues like anxiety, low mood and body image concerns.

Psychodynamic work considers how earlier life experiences influence current feelings and patterns. This can be useful when people want to understand repeated relationship difficulties or long-standing emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help the person choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy lives and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to book appointments at daytime, evenings or weekends. Please confirm the session formats offered before booking, as they are not specified here.
