About Sarah Lacey

Sarah Lacey is a United Kingdom based therapist with 22 years of professional experience who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, compassion fatigue and challenges with self-esteem. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on established therapeutic models including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor practical strategies to each person.

She collaborates with clients to make those strengths accessible and to develop actionable steps that address immediate concerns and longer term goals. Her approach balances empathy with structured techniques so clients leave sessions with clear tools they can use between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Sarah Lacey

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build a life guided by those values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, often supporting anxiety, stress and adjustment issues.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy, nonjudgmental listening and collaboration so clients can explore feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating relationship or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing concrete skills to change them. It tends to be goal-oriented and practical, making it useful for anxiety, low mood and work-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work - Sarah will work together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she may integrate elements from different approaches as the work evolves.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and can allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are difficult, while preserving the collaborative, skill-focused nature of the work.
