Sarah Semper , BACP

Sarah Semper is a registered integrative counsellor in the United Kingdom with more than 14 years of experience supporting people across the lifespan, from age 3 to 83. She combines a compassionate, client-focused approach with practical techniques to help individuals navigate stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy challenges, motivation and confidence struggles, and issues with self-esteem.

Drawing on a background in arts psychotherapy, Sarah integrates creative methods such as art, imagery, and other expressive techniques alongside conventional talking therapies and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This blended approach allows her to tailor sessions to each person’s preferences and needs, using expressive tools when words alone are not enough and evidence-based strategies when structure and skills are helpful.

Sarah aims to empower people to strengthen their sense of self-worth, gain emotional clarity, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. She holds BACP registration - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical coping skills, and creative pathways to insight and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sarah uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand fears of abandonment, attachment issues, and difficulties forming secure connections. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship so the person can explore feelings, build self-worth, and move toward personal goals at their own pace. Finally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah works collaboratively to determine what best fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time, combining creative and structured techniques to suit individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Sarah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular, consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists, whether someone needs brief check-ins, ongoing weekly sessions, or a mix of formats to suit changing needs.
