About me
I work hard to build strong therapeutic relationships so that you can honestly address the issues that you are facing today. I have 20 years' experience journeying with people from various backgrounds who face a wide range of issues from childhood trauma to suicidal ideation. Together we will build a relationship you can trust which will allow you to discover new perspectives, greater understanding and perhaps even new ways of being you!
Please visit my website: sallycraigpsychotherapy.com to find out more.
I became a qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor after addressing my own traumas and discovering for myself the power of a supportive, honest therapeutic relationship. The more people I have worked with since then, the more convinced I have become that exploring personal issues within a trusted relationship is extremely beneficial and can be transformative.
Whatever has happened to you and whatever issues you are facing, I am willing to work with you. However, if it is beneficial to refer you to a specialist, I will suggest this in our initial free consultation.
Once we have agreed to work together, we will meet weekly for six week blocks, setting a rhythm to review and evaluate our work together, however long our journey.
Please make contact to access your initial free confidential consultation where we can assess our compatibility and clarify the boundaries of our work together.
I look forward to meeting you,
Sally
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered psychotherapeutic counsellor with United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I have a Masters degree in Advanced Clinical Practice (Psychotherapy) from Middlesex University through The Minster Centre, and a Bachelors degree in Integrative Counselling from Middlesex University through Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have over 2,800 client hours’ experience counselling people from all walks of life, in prison and in the community, via charities and the private sector. My work has facilitated resolution of issues by building a relationship in which you learn to gradually let down your guard to consider your reality from new angles and take small steps in new directions.
During the pandemic I have undertaken the BACP-accredited 80-hour training by Counselling Tutor, to reflect on the new issues that arise with online work and to ensure my online work is ethical and secure. Get in touch for your free initial online consultation if you would like to work with me online.
However I currently also work in person again, so if you can access Woodmancote or central Cheltenham and want to work in the room together, please get in touch to arrange your free initial online consultation, after which we will work in person.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Sally
Member organisations

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
