Working with Sarah Cookson has been incredibly life changing for me. It was the first time I was following therapy services, and I was a bit anxious at first. Sarah made it easy for me to talk, I felt supported but also empowered to change some visions that I had and that were not helping me with my mental health. There was a lot of kindness, but always with professionalism, and I would definitely recommend Sarah Cookson as a therapist !

Hi, I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I work in a Person Centred and Solution Focused modality. I have experience in helping clients reduce and manage stress and anxiety and develop a better understanding of how anxiety works. I have also supported clients coping with grief and loss, as well as lack of motivation, self esteem and confidence issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe, non-judgemental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared. I would love the opportunity to work with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
