About Sarah
Sarah Dixon is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people who are anxious, grieving, depressed or under a lot of stress. She also supports those facing changes in their life and parents looking for practical ways to cope.
Sarah aims to meet people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sarah adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred work to help people notice patterns and make small changes. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship issues and intimacy-related concerns. Her experience includes supporting people with addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career worries.
She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar and chronic health conditions. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment issues and blended family challenges. Sessions typically aim to build clearer thinking and more helpful habits.
Sarah uses practical exercises alongside open conversation to help people manage feelings and cope better day to day. She emphasises collaboration and sets goals together with each person. People can expect straightforward talk about what is worrying them, and practical steps to try between sessions.
Sarah encourages small, achievable changes and checks in on progress as work continues.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help when avoidance or anxiety is getting in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that fuel depression or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early bonds affect current relationships and can help with intimacy, attachment issues and some parenting concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sarah will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose which techniques to try. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made so the approach fits your needs rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer discussions and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits short check-ins or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
