About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor who uses relationship-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and parenting concerns. She holds BACP accreditation and brings 13 years of experience working with worries like low self-esteem, motivation and relationship strain. Sarah speaks English and practises from the United Kingdom.
Her work starts from the belief that each person knows their own story best. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build on strengths people already have.
Background and approach
She helps clients name what feels difficult and try practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Sarah draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships can shape current patterns. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and trauma-focused methods when past hurt affects present functioning.
This mix allows her to tailor the approach to each person’s needs. Common concerns she supports include grief, anger, addictions, body image and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress.
Sessions can explore coping strategies, boundaries, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or change. People meet her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. The first steps are simple: a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that works for the client.
Sarah aims to make the process clear and straightforward for busy parents and carers.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to identify patterns, improve emotional connection, and create new ways of relating that can reduce anxiety and conflict.Client-centred practice places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers attentive listening and gentle feedback so clients can make sense of their feelings and decide on changes that matter to them. Solution-focused techniques then help set short-term, practical goals and test small steps between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early meetings and together decide which combination of methods fits best. That collaborative planning can be revisited as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat provides a discreet way to check in, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into family life and fluctuating schedules, while still focusing on meaningful progress.
