About Sarah Charney
Sarah Charney is a UK-based psychotherapist with ten years of clinical experience who supports adults working through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She is accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and holds multiple academic qualifications including a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology and advanced training in therapeutic approaches. Her background includes study in psychology and personnel development, and she has practiced in NHS, private, and workplace settings alongside multidisciplinary teams of psychologists, counsellors, and psychiatrists.
Sarah integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused stabilisation work. She adapts tools from these models to help people identify and shift long-standing thought patterns and coping strategies that often originate in childhood or follow later life events. When appropriate, she provides a reflective, client-centered space for exploration rather than structured intervention.
Her practice addresses a wide range of presenting concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and commitment problems, dissociation, eating and body image concerns, substance-related challenges, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness. Sarah emphasizes collaborative work that balances insight, practical skills, and self-compassion to support meaningful change and improved day-to-day functioning. She is currently accepting clients in the United Kingdom and offers several remote formats to suit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, and it can be especially useful for attachment issues, abandonment fears, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah Charney works collaboratively with each person to tailor approaches based on the individual's needs, goals, and preferences, combining techniques when needed and adjusting the pace as trust and insight develop.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work when in-person appointments are impractical. These remote options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused support while accommodating different communication styles and daily commitments.
