Sarah Dunn, BACP

Sarah Dunn helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, life changes, or difficult experiences from their past. She works with individuals who want clearer thinking, stronger self-esteem, and better ways to cope. Sarah is identified as BACP which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

Sarah comes from three years of professional experience in counselling. She focuses on practical, evidence-based ways to manage anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and consequences of abuse. In sessions she places value on the client’s own knowledge of their life and builds on existing strengths.

Her work includes helping people handle family conflict, relationship communication problems, and the strain of big life transitions. She also addresses difficulties such as body image, eating and food-related issues, and drug or alcohol concerns. Sessions may cover workplace stress, social anxiety, and isolation too.

Sarah aims to make the first steps feel less daunting. She offers a supportive, respectful space to talk through painful memories and current challenges. Together with each person she sets clear goals and practical steps to test between-session changes.

People who choose Sarah can expect straightforward conversation, tools to manage symptoms day to day, and help naming what needs to change. The emphasis is on collaboration and small, achievable progress rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. For example, cognitive-style work helps people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and then test gentle alternatives in everyday life. This kind of approach can help with social anxiety, workplace stress, and persistent worry.

Another helpful method is trauma-informed talking therapy that concentrates on stabilising symptoms and building tolerance for difficult memories. Sessions like this aim to improve day-to-day coping, reduce avoidance, and restore a sense of safety about current life choices. It can be useful for people dealing with post-traumatic stress and the aftermath of abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which techniques suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That shared planning makes it easier to try different methods and adjust what isn’t working.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. If you need confirmation about which session formats are offered, check current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps them practise tools in real life between sessions and keeps therapy manageable alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
