Sarah Showler, NCPS

Sarah Showler is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She draws on eight years of practice in the United Kingdom and works to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Sarah holds the NCPS credential, which is listed as her professional qualification.

Sarah focuses on practical problems like low self-esteem, motivation and relationship troubles. She supports people through life changes and helps them find steady ways to cope. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems.

Her approach is conversational and straightforward. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try small, manageable changes. She uses techniques known to help anxiety, mood and interpersonal stress rather than relying on lengthy theory talks.

Sarah has additional experience with concerns that can affect day-to-day life, including body image, codependency and eating and food-related issues. She also lists work around avoidant and dependent personality patterns, dissociation and forgiveness.

People looking for support in later life should note she includes aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas. If international work is needed, she does accept clients outside the UK.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Many of the techniques Sarah uses are practical, evidence-based methods that focus on symptoms and everyday coping. For example, cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and test whether they match reality; they can help with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem by changing thinking patterns. Behavioural techniques involve trying small, planned changes in daily routines to reduce avoidance and increase confidence, which is useful for stress and motivation issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to find methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This conversation may change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking time during a work break or reducing travel. It also allows people to continue work when they are living in a different country, but readers should confirm which session formats are available before booking. The emphasis is on practical benefits like shorter check-ins when needed, better access from different locations and being able to keep therapy consistent amid life changes.
