About
Sarah Gensmantel is a Person-Centred (Integrative) Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and Life Coach with four years of practice. She offers both short and long-term online counselling to adults and young people, and blends talking therapy with optional holistic practices such as breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, and yoga, including children’s yoga when appropriate. Her work is informed by a background in education, where she specialised in pastoral care and safeguarding.
She has a particular interest in trauma, including childhood trauma, and has supported people with a wide range of concerns listed among her specialties, such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family issues, and self-esteem. At the centre of her approach is the therapeutic relationship: she aims to meet each person with warmth, openness, and without judgement or assumptions. She listens to both what is spoken and what can be hard to name.
In sessions she combines reflective, insight-oriented work with practical coping strategies tailored to the individual. Sessions progress at a pace the person feels comfortable with, and additional practices are offered only when they fit the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions rooted in person-centred and practical methods
Sarah offers online counselling that combines person-centred listening with structured tools when those are helpful. In client-centred work she focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, building a therapeutic relationship marked by warmth, openness, and nonjudgement. That foundation supports exploration of feelings, history, and current difficulties at a pace that feels right for the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used alongside this reflective approach to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour and to introduce practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. Mindfulness-based techniques and breathwork are also available as optional integrations for those who find body-focused and awareness practices supportive. These are presented as tailored choices rather than requirements. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sarah aims to work collaboratively, adjusting style and tools to fit what a person wants from counselling, whether that is short-term support, longer-term exploration, or a mix of both.What is Sarah's professional background?
