About Sally
Sally Rhodes is a counsellor who draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people make practical changes in their lives. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or problems with intimacy and relationships. Her path into counselling began with personal experience of therapy.
That journey led her to train as a therapist and build a practice over the last 10 years. She uses what she learned to guide others through repeated patterns and stuck moments.
Background and approach
Sally blends person-centred listening with approaches that focus on emotion, attachment and mindful awareness. In sessions she helps people name painful feelings, understand how they affect behaviour, and try new ways of responding. The aim is clearer choices rather than quick fixes.
She also works with issues such as self-esteem, addictions, body image and the stress carers can face. Sally can help with the fallout from separation, attachment wounds and problems like codependency or commitment doubts. She uses straightforward tools so people can practise between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Sally encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on progress. She explains methods simply and adapts the approach to what a person needs in the moment.

Online support
How emotion-focused and mindful work translates online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people tune into their feelings and understand how emotions shape relationships and behaviour. It is useful when strong emotions, attachment wounds or repeated patterns are causing distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress and building a meaningful routine.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasise emotion-focused work, ACT skills or person-centred listening, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video calls suit deeper conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for short check-ins. Live chat or messaging can work for brief updates, exercises or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to practise new skills between meetings.
