About Sally
Sally Gardner is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy. She also helps with self-esteem, addiction, bereavement, eating and sleeping concerns, and codependency. Sally works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English, including to some international clients.
Sally combines practical talking therapy with a focus on how past relationships shape current life. She often looks at earlier attachments and childhood experiences to understand patterns that affect trust, intimacy and self-worth. Conversations are calm and straightforward, aimed at making sense of why someone feels or acts a certain way.
Her approach adapts to each person. Sessions may include exploring thoughts and beliefs, noticing emotional responses, and trying out small behavioural changes. Techniques draw on cognitive behaviour ideas, emotion-focused work and acceptance-based tools to help with mood, coping and connection.
Sally is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in sessions and aims to build a collaborative working relationship with clients.

How Sally's approaches translate to online work
Sally uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in straightforward ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, then choosing actions that align with personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance and finding direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape adult patterns, helping people understand trust, closeness and repeated relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sally will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether ACT, attachment-focused work or a mix feels most useful. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to access a therapist from a different area, which can expand choice when looking for particular expertise or perspectives.
