Sarah Rose

I currently have weekday sessions available,  from 8am to  4pm

Please call or message me so we can arrange a time to chat about your needs and I can answer any questions you may have.

Welcome to this short introduction to how I work.

There is a saying ‘Life is no picnic’. Most of us have periods in our life when we feel unsettled, or the unexpected happens which can be disturbing and can send us into a ‘tail spin’.

At these times it may be difficult to know what is best for us, how to ‘manage’ our situation or bring about the changes we desire in our life.

I offer a calm and supportive presence for you to explore any issues you bring.

We will work together to empower you to find clarity, and make decisions that will help you to move towards the life you want. I believe that life is a continuous learning curve for all of us and am motivated towards helping clients to achieve personal growth. Counselling is not about changing others, but ourselves; our outlook, how we relate to others including our boundaries, and how to create our best life; it is rewarding, but can be challenging too.

I understand my own nature to be sensitive, empathic, open minded, kind, respectful of & responsive to others needs. In my work I step aside from my own daily thoughts to a place of stillness where I can meet my clients needs.

I believe each of us is unique having our own distinctive mix of beliefs and responses to life’s experiences; we are experts on ourselves & responsible about our choices we make regarding our beliefs and behaviours.

This means there is no ‘best’ therapy suiting everyone so I tailor the work in depth, pace, time scale, & therapeutic approach. By offering a non judgemental, calm presence; attentive listening & inquisitive enquiry I provide a safe space for you to any explore issues you bring & their meaning to you.

I am confident to suggest ways that we may work together often working in a creative way as this can be a powerful way to unlock ‘stuck’ emotions. Working creatively is not about artistic skills (none are needed!) but using for example, ‘mark making’ on paper, working with clay or sand, in addition to talking therapy.

I abide by standards of the Â鶹ԭ´´ Ethical Framework.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited counsellor working in a pluralistic way (please see my bio)

I hold current Professional Liability Insurance.

I have 30 + years experience working on the ‘front line’ in the NHS and over 10 years counselling experience with adults, young people and couples within the charitable sector, NHS and private practice.

I offer face to face, video and phone sessions.

I offer a short telephone conversation prior to booking your first session so you can get a feel of how we will work together and ask any questions. 

In our first session I will complete client record, GDPR and agree our contract of working together prior to any therapeutic work

sessions last one hour
