Sarah Drobczyk

Sarah Drobczyk is an AASW social worker and counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through hard times. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, addictions and grief. Sarah believes people know their own stories and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to tailor support. These methods are used to help with mood, coping strategies and managing unhelpful thoughts.

Sarah has particular experience with issues that often affect women, including caregiving strain, chronic illness, cancer-related concerns and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people facing parenting stress, relationship strain, workplace burnout and substance challenges. Sessions aim to identify clear, manageable steps and build on strengths already present.

In practice Sarah keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people try small changes and new ways of responding. The work can include breathing and grounding skills, thought records, values clarification and building behavioural plans suited to daily life.

People are invited to set the pace and goals that matter to them. Sarah encourages self-compassion and realistic progress rather than quick fixes. To start, clients follow the site process to match with her and book according to availability.

How Sarah's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by negative thinking. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, respect and supporting a person's own pace and goals; it is useful when someone needs a calm space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides tools to change patterns that keep problems going, such as low mood or sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to each person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist choose practical steps together.

The biography did not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try skills practice between meetings and bring real-life issues directly into sessions for troubleshooting.
