About Sarah
Sarah Lacon is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, anger and career concerns. She also works with those managing neurodiversity, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.
Sarah builds a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. She emphasises practical steps alongside listening. Sessions aim to help people find small, useful changes they can use day to day.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with elements of mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She adapts methods to match what each person needs rather than following one fixed format. Sarah holds NCPS as a credential and brings three years of experience to her practice.
She has particular interest in issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment, blended families, caregiving stress and chronic illness. She also supports concerns about body image, communication and forgiveness. People can work with Sarah through a variety of online formats.
She aims to help clients set realistic goals, manage distressing emotions and build skills to handle stressful situations. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on hope and steady progress.

How therapy approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps clients say what matters to them. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings and find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. It offers practical tools and short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood and stress management.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped them before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from any location while phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines, and to keep momentum between sessions.
