About Sarah
Sarah Semper is a counsellor with 14 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She helps with relationship and intimacy worries, grief, parenting concerns and self-esteem. She also offers support for trauma, abuse and issues connected to identity, including LGBT concerns.
Sarah takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable steps that can make daily life feel steadier.
Background and approach
She draws on talking therapy alongside creative methods such as art and imagery when these feel useful to the person in front of her. Her work is informed by Systemic thinking and by Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas.
That means attention to patterns in relationships, to how past losses or separation affect feelings now, and to creating a calm space for people to be heard. Cognitive approaches are used where clear strategies can ease anxious thinking or low mood.
Sarah has worked with adults across a wide age range, and she names areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and attachment issues as particular interests. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image concerns and sexual or kink-related questions. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients.
Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is shown as BACP in her credentials.

Online support
How Sarah’s approaches work online
Sarah often uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape feelings and responses now, helping people notice patterns and feel steadier. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions and build self-trust.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful to tackle anxious thoughts or low mood with clear strategies and exercises. These approaches are described and tried together, so the client and therapist decide which fits best. The therapist treats this as a collaborative process and will adapt methods to match your goals and preferences.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people keep visual contact and use imagery or creative prompts. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation helps. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking.
This mix of approaches and formats gives flexibility for different lives and needs, and makes it possible to continue therapeutic work across distances and busy schedules.
