My name is Sara; I am a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work with adults aged 18+.

I am a trauma informed counsellor and work in an integrative way, this means that I am familiar with a range of concepts and theories and can adapt my approach to the needs of the client. I have a non-judgmental attitude and ensure the sessions are strictly confidential.
I provide talking therapy for you to talk about anything that might be having an impact on your life and causing you distress, worry, discontent or sadness. It might be something that is happening in the here and now, or something from your past that you need to talk about in-depth to help you gain clarity and understanding. Together we will work through whatever brought you to therapy at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you.
Additionally, if required, I am also fully trained to incorporate CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) tools for the client to use within and out of sessions; this form of therapy can assist in alleviating symptoms associated with anxiety, stress and depression. CBT tools are also helpful in identifying unhelpful behaviour’s such as avoidance, negative thought patterns and triggers that lead to unhealthy coping behaviours and low self-esteem.
I can also provide you with the tools to help with any distressing thoughts you might be experiencing, and relaxation techniques to help you stay grounded.
I have worked with clients experiencing an extensive range of mental and behavioural issues. This is not an exhaustive list:
At present I work with organisations and individuals on a one-to-one basis.
Prior to working in private practice I spent a few years in the charity sector where I counselled men and women experiencing a host of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, low-self esteem, bereavement, trauma, abuse, PTSD, and relationship issues.
Prior to becoming a counselling therapist I spent 19 years working in the corporate sector; this background means that I am familiar with the demands of work, the dynamics of working relationships and the related stresses that can arise.
I also attend regular supervision and update my skills through continued personal development training and workshops.
I offer short-term and long-term therapy in 50 minute sessions and sessions are charged at £50.00.
Payment can be made by bank transfer or cash.
