About
Sarah Dinenage is a UK-based psychodynamic counsellor and BACP registered therapist with 12 years of professional experience supporting people in organisations and private practice. She works with a range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and experiences of trauma and abuse. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she recognises the courage it takes to start, viewing it as an important first step toward living with greater clarity and day-to-day ease.
Her work is centred on helping clients understand themselves more fully and make sense of what feels stuck or painful. With a psychodynamic and attachment-informed focus, she explores how earlier life experiences can shape adult patterns - including how someone relates to themselves and others, and why certain relationship dynamics can seem to repeat over time. By gently examining these themes, therapy can support a clearer understanding of what is driving current difficulties and what may be keeping them going.
Sarah offers a thoughtful space to talk things through with a therapist trained to listen not only to what is said, but also to what may be harder to express. While therapy may not remove every problem, she aims to help clients see their situation with fresh perspective so that the past or ongoing concerns feel less overwhelming and have less impact on everyday life. She also values a grounded, human way of working, where warmth and an appropriate sense of humour can help build trust and a strong working relationship.

Attachment-Informed Therapy, Made Accessible Online
Sarah Dinenage draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients explore how early relationships can influence adult patterns - including closeness, trust, boundaries, and the kinds of relationships someone is drawn to. This approach can be especially helpful when anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, or feelings linked to abandonment and attachment issues keep repeating in familiar ways.Her work is also informed by psychodynamic counselling, which focuses on making sense of underlying themes that may sit beneath current stress, depression, or the impact of trauma and abuse. Together, therapist and client can look at what feels difficult to put into words, notice patterns over time, and develop a clearer understanding of what is driving distress and what may be maintaining it.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Sarah collaborates with clients to shape therapy around individual goals, preferences, and pace, helping them decide what feels most useful to focus on first and how to approach change in a manageable way.
