About
Sarah Dinenage is a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor working from the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She addresses a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her practice also pays attention to related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and mood and obsessive patterns.
Her work emphasises how difficulties in adult life can trace back to early relational experiences. She attends to recurring patterns in relationships and how those patterns influence how someone relates to themselves and others. She listens for both what is said and what remains unspoken, creating space to explore underlying drivers of distress and the forces that keep problems repeating.
Sarah describes her manner as grounded and genuine rather than formal. She values a collaborative working relationship and often uses humour where it feels appropriate. Prospective clients are invited to reach out to learn more about the therapeutic fit and to consider beginning a process of greater clarity about what is troubling them.

Online sessions informed by attachment and psychodynamic perspectives
Sarah offers remote work that draws on Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a psychodynamic counselling background. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and the ways early bonds shape current feelings and behaviour. The psychodynamic perspective explores underlying meanings, repeated relational patterns and material that may sit outside immediate awareness. Together these lenses support exploration of how past experiences influence present difficulties.
Sessions are collaborative and exploratory. Sarah aims to help people notice repeating dynamics, clarify what is driving their distress, and reflect on how they relate to themselves and others. The pace and focus are agreed together, with attention to listening beyond surface concerns to what may be shaping those concerns.
Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling different ways to connect depending on preference and accessibility. The therapist and client decide together which format best supports the work.
