About Sarah
Sarah Cattermole is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and major life changes. She also helps with relationship worries, career concerns, family-related strain and recovery from trauma or abuse. Sarah works in a straightforward, warm way so people can talk about what feels hard right now.
Her style is friendly and person-focused. She aims to build a steady working relationship and tailors each plan to the person in front of her. Sessions often mix calmer, reflective listening with practical steps to try between meetings.
Sarah uses client-centred techniques alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. That means she listens closely to what matters to the client, then helps spot patterns of thinking and behaviour and experiments with small changes. Mindfulness is used to develop clearer awareness of thoughts and feelings.
She trained in psychology and health psychology, holding a 2:1 degree in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Health Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University. She also has level 4 and level 5 counselling qualifications from CPCAB and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
With three years' experience, Sarah aims to make sessions practical and understandable. People looking to start are invited to provide some basic information and then plan sessions that fit their needs.
How Sarah uses client-centred and CBT online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and understood before making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to try new ways of coping. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood and stress because it offers clear tools to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will talk through goals and preferences and suggest a way forward that mixes listening with practical steps. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
