About Sarah
Sarah Semper is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strains. She helps with self-esteem and coping through life changes, and offers support for trauma, grief and issues tied to identity.
Sarah is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has 14 years of experience in the UK. Her style is practical and person-centred.
Background and approach
Sessions blend talking with creative and body-focused ways of working. That means she may use imagery, expressive techniques, somatic awareness, and straightforward cognitive tools to help people notice patterns and try different responses. People come for short-term focus or longer changes.
Sarah listens for what matters most, then works alongside the person to set simple goals. She says small steps and learning to notice the body’s signals often make a big difference. Her background includes arts psychotherapy influences alongside traditional counselling and cognitive behavioural techniques.
This mix lets her offer varied ways to approach problems such as attachment concerns, dissociation, chronic pain, or challenges around intimacy and sexuality. Sessions are offered in English and can be run online by video, phone, chat or messaging. Practical information about cost and scheduling is provided through the platform’s subscription and booking tools.
How somatic and talking approaches work online
Sarah combines somatic-informed work with attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working. Somatic-informed work invites people to notice bodily sensations, breath and posture to understand how stress and trauma show up in the body; this can help with anxiety, chronic pain and dissociation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people recognise how early experiences shape current reactions and relationship habits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities, offering a supportive space where the counsellor follows the client’s pace and concerns.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different options with the client, try approaches that feel comfortable, and adjust as goals and needs become clearer. Together they decide which techniques fit the person’s preferences and life situation.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets the therapist and client see non-verbal cues, while phone or chat can feel more low-key. Messaging supports ongoing reflection between live sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around family and work, and to keep continuity when life is busy or travel is needed.
