Dr. Sarah Enderby, BACP

Dr. Sarah Enderby helps people who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. She works with stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, low self-esteem and issues such as jealousy and infidelity. She also supports people dealing with trauma, changes in life, parenting strain, ADHD and questions about sexual orientation. Sarah brings a practical and down-to-earth style to sessions. She listens without judgement and encourages clear, honest talk. People can expect a steady focus on understanding relationship patterns, identifying what matters to them, and trying out different ways of relating and coping. Her background includes work in the corporate world for more than two decades before moving into counselling. She holds an MA and a Doctorate, and she has a Diploma in Psychodynamic Therapy. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In the room she draws on a mix of approaches. That includes attachment-based ideas about how early relating shapes adult feelings, client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience first, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship difficulties. She also uses psychodynamic thinking and Internal Family Systems ideas when these fit the issue. If you are unsure where to begin she will help you clarify priorities and make a plan. The first steps usually involve talking about what feels hardest now and what you hope will be different, then agreeing practical next steps to try between sessions.

How these approaches translate to online working

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and reactions. It helps when trust, jealousy or abandonment worries keep repeating in adult relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities, offering a listening space where people can clarify values and make decisions. The Gottman Method offers practical tools to change communication and reduce conflict in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which ideas to emphasise. Decisions about methods are made jointly, and can shift as progress is reviewed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about the available session types and how they fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel and choose a quieter time for talking. It can also allow shorter check-ins when you need a brief update rather than a full session.
