Sally Humphries, BACP, NCPS

Sally Humphries is a counsellor with more than 22 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with individuals and couples and often meets people facing life changes such as illness, separation or parenting challenges. Sally is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.

Her approach centres on building a genuine human connection. She aims to be authentic, empathic and non-judgemental, offering a space where people can talk openly about what matters to them. Sally describes herself as a fellow traveller who walks alongside people for as long as they find that helpful.

In sessions she focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what she hears. This helps people make sense of difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward. Conversations may cover family of origin issues, blended family concerns, infertility and pregnancy related distress, and the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis.

Sally has worked extensively with people on the autistic spectrum, and with those facing end-of-life and hospice concerns. She also supports people with panic attacks, postpartum depression, guilt and shame, and midlife crises. Her experience includes both short-term and longer-term work depending on each person's needs.

She practises client-centred therapy, which places the relationship at the heart of the work. If someone wants to begin, they use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy

Sally practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on building understanding through honest listening and empathy. This approach aims to give people space to talk about their worries, whether those are anxiety, grief, relationship strain or the emotional effects of illness.

The emphasis in client-centred work is on the relationship and on responding to what each person brings. That style can help with issues such as panic attacks, postpartum depression and family of origin concerns by encouraging self-awareness and clearer choices about next steps.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will decide which approach fits best. This collaborative conversation helps shape how sessions are run and what to focus on over time.

The original biography does not specify particular session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt sessions to suit quieter hours, work breaks or times when being on camera is difficult.
