More about Sarah

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

I am a licensed counsellor in the UK who has worked extensively with all age groups. I have had my own private practice and worked within an educational setting with pupils experiencing anything from low mood to suicidal urges. My work has also allowed me to work with couples dealing with emotional and intimate issues. Over the last 7 years I have worked with many different people in different socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnic and religious background. Also working with many people within the LGBTQ+ community. Extensive experience in helping the transgender community.

During my career my work has allowed me to empower individuals to find their strength and mindfulness to allow for self growth. Working on self-esteem, life script and self-belief has given so many of my clients a future vision of calm, inner peace and self worth.

Working with adolescents and adults alike has also given me a great deal of experience and I will continue to give total professionalism at all times with a friendly approachable manner.

I have done considerable work with couples, providing a space where both parties can express in a safe, thoughtful environment. Success with my solution focused style is something I pride myself on.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Sarah has helped me understand myself so much better so I recognize and stop unconscious self sabotage. Her indepth knowledge of abusive relationships and ability to give strength and hope in the darkest times is incredible. She has helped me through my very painful second divorce and assisted my bounce back into a normal life with some very clever insights into my defeating thought patterns and given me tools to cope I would absolutely recommend her to everyone going through relationship issues.

Sarah has been absolutely brilliant in every sense. She’s helped me through everything and helped me get myself back together after a very traumatic experience. She is an expert in narcissistic abuse and has treated me with the most compassion and empathy I could possibly need. I feel like I can tell Sarah anything and she always gets the right balance of support and challenge to help me. I can’t recommend her enough.

Sarah has helped me figure out how to handle my anxiety and become better at accepting emotions/being more vulnerable. She is a wonderful therapist that really listens to you and actively tries to give you ways to handle any situation. The positive and accepting atmosphere in the sessions makes it a good place to open up.

Sarah is AMAZING. I couldn't have wished for a better therapist to be paired with, I am so grateful. When I came to Betterhelp I was really struggling with a specific incident in my life and needed help escaping the spiral of panic. Sarah talking me through everything and helped me find ways through the chaos. She understood my personality and the naunces of my neurodivergance, and how these were affecting my responses to situations. I feel like I have learnt so much and have successfully worked through the struggles I came to Betterhelp for in the first place. I'm forever grateful to Sarah and her kind, caring, and supportive manner in what was a season of darkness in my life. She's a fantastic therapist and I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Sarah <3 xXx

A very professional and kind therapist. She would always let me lead the sessions by voicing my concerns for that week and then we’d go from there. I would recommend Sarah to anyone needing an understanding person to talk to.

Sarah Tolley is an amazing therapist who cares about her clients and listens to them whatever problem they might have. In the short time from 3-4 months i was allowed to talk with her, she gave me so much hope and strength. With her help i could really change my life to the better and im glad that i could have her as my therapist. We understood each other immediately and i really looked for each session with her. Thanks for being around even in the darkest times to show me a ray of sunshine to lead me further onto my path! With best regards Rick

Sarah trolley is a great therapist who is helping me a lot. 10/10 would recommend.

Reviewed November 2022

I had 3 months worth of sessions with Sarah dealing with issues around anger management and anxiety, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone struggling with the same things. She gave me the time and space to realise that no emotion is bad, the key is to not let emotion control or overwhelm you but for you to feel confident in controlling how they manifest themselves. We worked through some really great techniques to put this into practice which I will be taking away with. I feel so much lighter in myself and more in control than I have done before, and I am much more confident in my ability to be in stressful or uncomfortable situation and not let it overwhelm me. Thanks so much for all your help Sarah.
