About Sarah
Sarah Charney is a psychotherapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has ten years' clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sarah also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, eating and substance-related problems, and feelings of emptiness.
Sarah uses a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based approaches. Sessions often focus on identifying thinking patterns learned in childhood or after distressing events, and on practical steps to change unhelpful behaviours. She draws on mindfulness tools and stabilisation techniques when trauma symptoms are present.
Her background includes work in NHS clinical settings alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists, and in workplace contexts. She has two master’s degrees, including an MSc in Counselling Psychology, and postgraduate diplomas in a range of therapeutic models. That clinical and workplace experience informs how she supports people with both personal and work-related difficulties.
In a session Sarah listens to what matters most and helps people test different ways of responding to difficult feelings. She uses straightforward exercises from CBT and DBT, values-based work from ACT, and conversations about attachment patterns to clarify relationship dynamics. Practical coping skills are paired with reflection on long-standing patterns.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and then trying small, values-based steps. It can help when people feel stuck, empty or unsure what direction to take. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current relationships. It helps when trust, closeness or abandonment fears shape how someone connects with others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through practical exercises and structured practice.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and try methods that fit those priorities. That collaborative process often blends skill practice with talking about relationship patterns and life values.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions fit around daily life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to use worksheets, mindfulness exercises and other tools during the appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and tasks to suit different schedules and living situations, and the therapist will discuss how to make sessions practical for the client.
