About Sarah

Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has around 13 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and depression. She focuses on relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem and motivation, and common challenges like grief, trauma and addiction.

She believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening-first attitude to sessions. Conversations aim to build on what already works for a person and to find small, practical steps forward. The tone is encouraging and straightforward, with space to talk about difficult feelings without pressure.

Sarah uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Attachment-based ideas help when patterns from earlier relationships affect current ones. Client-centred work puts the person’s priorities at the heart of the conversation. Psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods help trace how past events influence present reactions, while solution-focused techniques target immediate, achievable goals.

She has experience addressing issues such as codependency, abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and separation or domestic violence. Sessions also cover intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career change and coping with life transitions.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide remote counselling

Sarah draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeating difficulties in trust, closeness or boundaries. Client-centred therapy is also a key part of her practice and focuses on listening, empathy and the person’s own goals to shape the work.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will listen to what matters most and suggest ways of working that match those aims. Together the person and counsellor decide whether to focus on past patterns, current solutions or a mix of both.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. It can also suit quieter conversations if someone prefers not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods used in person to an online setting, and this counsellor will discuss practical arrangements to help sessions fit day-to-day life.
