About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles works in a respectful, person-centred way that helps people make practical changes. She uses approaches that focus on relationships and life story to understand patterns. Sarah is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings 13 years of experience to her practice.
She sees stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties as common problems that respond to steady, focused work. Parenting strain, self-esteem and motivation are also frequent themes in her sessions. People bring struggles such as grief, trauma, addiction and issues around intimacy and body image, and Sarah helps them talk through what is happening now and how past experiences shape it.
Her approach mixes attachment-based thinking with client-centred listening and psychodynamic reflection. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused ideas when they fit the person’s needs. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and to try small, realistic changes between meetings.
Sarah frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for patterns linked to early relationships and current stresses, then tests practical ways to change those patterns. The work can include talking, reflecting on past experiences, and agreeing short exercises to try outside sessions.
People usually find this way of working helpful when they want a grounded, relational focus rather than quick fixes. If adoption or foster care histories are part of your story, Sarah’s listed focus includes those issues and can be explored in sessions.
How relational and brief approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions; it helps people understand patterns in close relationships and caregiving roles. Client-centred therapy concentrates on listening, empathy and building the person’s own sense of direction, which can help with confidence, parenting stress and decision-making. Trauma-focused work looks at how overwhelming events affect day-to-day life and uses careful, paced steps to reduce distress and improve coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion that can change as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, so check current options when arranging a first meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and reflection to an online setting while keeping the focus on relationship patterns and realistic steps for change.
