Qualified counsellor

BACP registered

Hi! My name is Sarah.

I'm a qualified and registered counsellor and I’m passionate about supporting younger women becoming the experts of their own lives. Most of my practice focuses on supporting trainee therapists and students discover who they are. My approach is person-centred, which means I am guided by you, to discover who you are.

Let’s normalise going to therapy.

What is counselling?Counselling is a talking therapy which can help you to connect with your feelings, emotions, and behaviours. It can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and why you might be feeling a certain way.

Why talking really mattersCounselling can feel a bit scary, I hear you! Especially if it’s your first time and you’re unsure what to expect.

Provides clarity

When things are spoken out loud to a trusted person, it can help to free the space in your mind for the things which truly matter to you.

Builds on trust

Counselling can provide a safe space for you to develop trust in yourself and the process. I have trust in you too!

Develops confidence

The more trust you have developed, the deeper confidence you can have in yourself, others, and the world around you.

Access feelings

When we give our feelings the space and voice it deserves, you can better understand your experiences.

What can counselling help with?

AnxietyCounselling can help to manage overwhelming feelings of anxiety which might be preventing you from moving forward. Working therapeutically together, we can explore and identify uncomfortable feelings and use gentle strategies that can enable you to feel more confident. Anxiety can look very different for everyone, and I understand what it feels like for it to be gripping, to feel stuck.
DepressionCounselling can help you to understand your symptoms of depression and what this experience might look and feel like for you. Working therapeutically together, we can explore and identify areas in your life you’d like to better understand or process. Depression can look very differently for everyone, and I understand what it feels like to feel hopeless, to lose sight of enjoyment and who you are.
GriefCounselling can help you process feelings around loss and to move through the stages of grief. Whether that loss is a friend, family member, pet, or other life circumstance. Working therapeutically together, we can gently explore what loss has looked like for you. I understand what the pain of loss can feel like, I hear you and we can tread gently together.
