About Sarah
Sarah Semper is a counsellor with 14 years of experience offering calm, practical support for everyday struggles. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, difficulties with self-esteem, and problems around intimacy and relationships. Sarah also supports people coping with major life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting stress.
Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She uses talking therapy alongside creative techniques such as art and imagery when that feels useful. Sarah draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method. Sarah trained and works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.
She has supported a wide age range of people and brings fourteen years of practice to her work. Her background in arts psychotherapy influences how she blends expression and conversation. In practical sessions Sarah will help you clarify goals and try small experiments between appointments.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness where helpful, and pays attention to attachment patterns that affect relationships. The aim is to build clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better day-to-day coping. People come to her for short-term problem solving and longer term exploration.
She meets individuals who want direct strategies as well as those who prefer a reflective, meaning-focused approach. Appointments are offered online in a variety of formats to fit different needs.

Online support
How Sarah combines approaches online
Sarah uses existential thinking to help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. This approach can help when someone is questioning their direction, facing big life changes, or seeking more purpose.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This can be useful for people with repeated communication problems, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others.
Sarah uses client-centred ways of working too, which means she prioritises each person’s lived experience and pace. Together you will decide which methods to try based on your goals and preferences. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual techniques, phone can be more flexible and uses less bandwidth, while chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or mobility needs and help maintain continuity when travel or scheduling would otherwise interrupt care.
