About Sarah

Sarah Labbett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and parenting challenges. She also works with issues such as trauma, grief, self-esteem, addiction and changes at work or home.

Sarah approaches conversations with respect and sensitivity. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and preferences. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aiming to make sessions feel manageable for someone juggling parenting and everyday life.

Background and approach

In therapy she draws on a range of approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, try small changes and learn practical ways to cope with distressing thoughts and feelings. Sarah has experience helping people with specific concerns such as intrusive thoughts and a variety of relationship and family stresses.

She tailors tools and exercises to the situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions may include practical steps, reflective conversation and short exercises to practise between meetings. People who prefer clear goals and a supportive, respectful space may find her approach helpful.

She encourages realistic steps and gentle progress, so therapy can fit around parenting responsibilities and day-to-day demands.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that guide online parenting and life support

Sarah uses client-centred work to build a respectful, listening-based space. This approach focuses on understanding your experience and shaping the conversation around what matters to you, which can help when parenting feels overwhelming or relationships are strained.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, commonly called CBT, to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts and everyday stresses by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss goals, preferences and everyday routines with you, then agree which methods to try first. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they fit parenting responsibilities and other commitments.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see and hear each other for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can offer shorter check-ins or a way to reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work and daily life.
