Sarah Greenwood, BACP
Supportive counsellor blending talk and body awareness
About Sarah
Sarah Greenwood is a counsellor with 17 years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She offers a welcoming, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and other concerns. Sarah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She combines practical talking therapies with body-aware somatic ideas and cognitive tools. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in everyday language. Sarah aims to help people feel steadier, notice what gets in the way and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her work has taken place across personal and public settings over many years. That background shapes a flexible approach that adapts to what each person brings. She meets people where they are and focuses on small, achievable steps toward change.
Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed methods and client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. These are used to address issues such as low self-esteem, panic, relationship problems, grief, addiction and compulsive behaviours. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, work strain and chronic health challenges.
Sessions can include talking, noticing bodily signals and experimenting with simple grounding practices. She has DBS enhanced checks and follows the BACP ethical framework. People who prefer remote work can meet by video, phone, chat or text messaging.
How somatic, ACT and attachment approaches work online
Somatic ideas help people notice bodily signals such as tightness, breath or tension and learn simple ways to ground themselves. This can be useful when anxiety, panic or trauma memories show up in the body. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters to you and on making small value-led changes, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, pace and preferences. This is done together so the plan can be adjusted as understanding deepens.
Online therapy can make this collaborative work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice only, and live chat or text messaging offer shorter, flexible ways to check in. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to practise skills between sessions, regardless of location.
