About Sarah
Sarah Marlow-Rawles is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and problems with sleep or eating.
Sarah starts from the view that people know their own stories best. She listens to what has been happening and helps clients notice the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels or quick fixes.
Her background includes work with attachment and trauma-related issues, and she draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. She also uses solution-focused tools to set small, manageable goals and track progress over time.
Parents and caregivers often come for help with blended family tensions, adoption and foster care questions, or the daily strain of looking after others. She also addresses abandonment, codependency, commitment and control issues in a clear, direct way.
People who meet her can expect a counsellor who helps them name what feels hard, try out different responses, and build steadier routines for sleep, eating and coping. Practical concerns such as career strain, compassion fatigue and chronic illness are worked through alongside emotional and relational issues.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Sarah often uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence present feelings and reactions. This approach can help when relationship patterns, abandonment or attachment wounds make everyday interactions tense or confusing.She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small changes that make a difference. This can be useful for practical problems such as sleep, coping with stress, parenting tasks or managing low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss your concerns and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs and goals shift.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy as part of their routine while they work on relationships, parenting and coping skills.
