Sarah Semper

Sarah Semper is a BACP-accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. She also supports people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and LGBT-related issues.

Sarah uses an integrative approach that brings together talking therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, and attachment-based ideas. She also draws on her background in arts psychotherapy to include expressive tools such as art and imagery when that helps someone say what is hard to put into words. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to notice patterns and test small changes.

She often helps people who feel stuck after a life change or who are questioning what matters next. Work can include spotting core beliefs, trying brief behavioural experiments, and noticing how relationships shape feelings. Clients also explore boundaries, communication habits, and ways to rebuild confidence.

Sarah describes the therapeutic process as collaborative. She aims to help people gain clearer emotional understanding and practical coping strategies rather than offering quick fixes. People leave with skills to manage day-to-day stress and a clearer view of next steps they might try.

Her practice pays attention to attachment themes, identity and belonging, and how past losses affect current choices. The mix of talking and creative methods can suit those who find words alone limiting. International clients may be accepted; confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sarah commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas to map how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when someone feels stuck repeating familiar roles in close relationships and wants to try new ways of relating. Client-Centred therapy forms the base of her style by keeping sessions focused on what matters to the person and allowing them to lead the conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used for more focused work on thoughts, behaviours and practical strategies for anxiety, low mood or stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the person. That way, therapy becomes a collaborative process of testing what helps most for an individual’s concerns and circumstances.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to work with a therapist from a different location or time zone. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use these same approaches effectively across remote sessions so clients can work on relationships, mood and life purpose without rearranging their whole routine.
