Sarah Dixon , BACP

Sarah Dixon is a UK-based therapist with 25 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. She combines extensive clinical experience with a compassionate, respectful approach, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique circumstances and goals.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD and occupational issues such as career and compassion fatigue. She also works with attachment-related difficulties, adoption and foster care matters, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and co-morbid presentations.

Sarah works from principles grounded in evidence-informed methods and draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered work to support emotional coping, insight and practical change. She is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to ongoing professional practice.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Sarah recognises that first step. She seeks to create a sensitive, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their difficulties and develop strategies that fit their lives, and she is currently accepting clients, including international referrals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it supports living in line with personal values even when difficult emotions appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression and managing life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that emerge from early relationships and how these affect current bonds and emotional responses. It can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and trauma-related challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers understanding and support to help the client find their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, coping with loss, and making meaningful changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah Dixon collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress develops.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments. These options allow licensed professionals to work with people from different locations and life circumstances, maintaining continuity of care and making consistent support more accessible.
