Sara Walton
About me
I offer face to face individual, integrative counselling for teenagers and adults and non-directive play therapy for children aged 5 years and over. My counselling approach is creative, integrative and person centred. I can offer a safe, confidential space to explore issues and focus on what is concerning you.
Prior to becoming a counsellor I worked in education for 30 years specialising in supporting children and young people with special educational needs, and in particular autism, this experience informed my specialist therapuetic work supporting adults and children with a diagnosis.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
