My clinic runs online on Mondays at a time that is convenient to you.

Hi, I’m Sara. I wonder what has brought you to my page and how we might work together? There are times in life where we feel stuck, sad or lost and counselling gives you a space to process and work out what you feel and why you feel it. You may also be able to find new ways of doing things to make positive changes in your life.

My primary training is as a person centred counsellor. This means that each session is unique to you and your needs. It’s my job to help you feel comfortable and at ease in the session. The counselling relationship is built on trust; in time you will trust that I can provide the safe, calm and confidential space for you to talk freely. The goal is that we work together to find your answers.

Perhaps you never thought you’d come for counselling. Compassion for yourself and the impact that life has had for you is key to your own wellbeing. Using my training in Compassion Focussed Therapy we can help you develop a new understanding of things that have hurt you, the loss and sadness it has caused you and how your brain and body are doing their best to help you survive. Through therapy you can begin to thrive again.

In addition to private practice, I have ten years experience of providing 1:1 counselling and psychotherapy in our NHS for adults with anxiety and depression arising from a myriad of life events and situations. I am an Accredited Counsellor with Â鶹ԭ´´ and an Accredited Psychotherapist with IPT UK. With this wealth of experience I know I can offer you the safe, compassionate and therapeutic space you are seeking.

To help you decide if we are a good match I offer a free 30 minute call. In this there is room for you to ask any questions about starting therapy and I will seek to understand what brings you to therapy at this time.

If you decide to proceed with therapy sessions I will send you a pre therapy questionnaire to help with a full assessment of your needs along with some written information about my privacy notice and terms and conditions.

My clinic is online on Mondays at a time that is mutually convenient.

My primary training is as a person centred counsellor. This means that each supervision session is unique to you and your needs. It’s my job to help you feel comfortable and at ease in the session. The supervision relationship is built on trust; in time you will trust that I can provide the safe, calm and confidential space for you to talk freely. The goal is that we work together to enable you to provide the best therapy you can for your clients and stay psychologically well in the work.

I seek to provide you with a friendly and structured space for you to explore your caseload on a monthly basis. I expect you to come prepared for each session with a good idea of the issues to explore. The times when we feel stuck are usually the times when we can learn the most. Knowing that you are not alone in the stuckness can be transformative and I will work alongside you to help further your progress with your clients.

We will assess any issues of risk, look at ethical dilemmas and ensure you leave the session feeling clearer, hopeful and heard.

First sessions are all about getting to know each other. I am happy to answer any questions you have in order for us to settle quickly into the work. I will provide you with a supervision contract and we can review this on a regular basis to ensure your needs are being met.
