Sarah Trent, BACP

Sarah Trent offers a person-centred approach that prioritises the individual’s pace and preferences. She uses conversations that focus on what matters most to the client and helps people find practical ways forward. Sarah’s style is warm and respectful, and she aims to create an open space where people can talk honestly about what’s difficult.

She trained at the University of Warwick and holds a BA honours in counselling and psychotherapy. Sarah has six years of experience working as a counsellor, psychotherapist and health and wellbeing coach. That background means she has supported people through a range of common struggles, including stress, anxiety and depression.

Sarah helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma or abuse and difficulties with self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia. In sessions she focuses on the person’s experience and on building practical coping skills.

Her work is person-centred, which means she follows what the client brings and adapts to individual needs. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding, improve emotional coping, and build confidence to make changes. She also draws on her coaching experience to support motivation and goal-setting.

People who choose Sarah can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence and straightforward conversations about next steps. She encourages small, manageable changes and helps clients track progress over time.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Person-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to explore their concerns and build self-understanding.

Sarah also draws on practical coaching techniques to help with motivation and goal-setting. These techniques focus on small, concrete steps and regular review so people can notice progress and adjust plans. That combination often helps when managing stress, low mood, self-esteem issues or life purpose questions.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together with the client which fits best for their needs and goals. Sessions can adapt over time as priorities change, and the therapist will check in about what helps and what does not.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or letting someone join a session without being on camera. These practical advantages can support continued engagement and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
