More about Sally

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hello, I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I am also a registered mental health nurse. I have experience in helping clients with mental health issues.

I work with a wide range of clients and also I counsel couples on relationship issues.

I have courses on how to find the right relationship and how to keep it.

Most people I work with there is usually underlying low self worth which can come from childhood traumas. I like to explore passed issues and relationships, as this then helps to understand why you might be feeling or behaving in a certain way. I mainly work with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & intimacy related issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sally is great to work with! She listens extremely well and is both supportive and challenging. Her humanity shines through in our sessions and in the 4-5 weeks that we've been working together I've noticed noticeable improvement in the way that I think about herself.

Sally has been brilliant for me so far and I look forward to continuing to work with her. A brilliant listener with great insights - I’ve had an epiphany with her in every session

Sally has been absolutely brilliant in helping me with my needs. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful. I feel very heard and acknowledged throughout our sessions.

Reviewed April 2024

Sally is such a good therapist!!! I can’t recommend her enough. She listens to my concerns and gives such good advice. It’s nice to talk things out with a professional but she feels more like a friend. She understands my anxieties and traumas. Selfishly I would like to keep her so myself but I know she can help many more. Whoever is paired up with her, you’re a lucky one!

Reviewed March 2024

I’m so grateful I was matched with Sally! She makes me feel very relaxed and comfortable even when discussing difficult topics. She is very perceptive and intuitive and I never feel judged by her, as she is really compassionate and understanding. She faces challenges with ease and humor, and helps lift the weight of the world off my shoulders. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to listen and understand, and give intuitive suggestions.

Sally has been helping me through a crisis of confidence and helping me to challenge the negative thoughts and believe that I am enough

Reviewed December 2023

Sally is the best therapist I have had. She really listens to your concerns and gives you space when discussing difficult topics. She’s given me advice and strategies that I wouldn’t have known about without her help. Sally is really good at remembering details and helping you understand why something may be troubling you on a deeper level. I have been having sessions with Sally for a year now and she’s helped me become a better vision of myself. She is patient and doesn’t focus you to come up with a solution by the end of the session. I would definitely recommend Sally as a therapist and am happy to call her my therapist too.

I've been speaking to Sally Gardner for several weeks now. I feel that she is very friendly and professional. She listens very well and her input is very valuable to me. Sally is very understanding and open minded. She is also very encouraging and takes my lead in regards to how I feel I need/would like each session to go. I would highly recommend Sally (though I'd like to keep her all to myself lol). Betterhelp and Sally Gardner have honestly saved my life, giving me a very much needed outlet.

Sally, is a very attentive and easy to approach therapist. After learning about my situation, she was incredibly empathetic towards what I was going thru and truly showed expertise by being able to pinpoint and have me expand on a variety of topics and themes related to my therapy. I think Sally is certainly worth the money I've paid for and I will continue to have my sessions with her in the future. Keep up the amazing work Sally!
