About me
Take a moment to pause and breathe. Now gently tell yourself "I have got this. It's going to be okay. I am taking charge".
Ask yourself: “Why am I looking for a therapist right now? What do I need?”
Are you feeling anxious, low in mood, stressed, or experiencing grief? Perhaps you’re coming to terms with a loss, navigating a relationship breakup, or facing the challenges of a health diagnosis, like cancer—for yourself or someone close to you.
If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place.
I’m Sarah, an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Nottingham city centre on Regent Street, offering both face-to-face sessions and online therapy via Zoom.
Together, we will co-create a therapeutic relationship that supports and nourishes you. In our sessions, we’ll explore and unpack the areas of your life that are causing distress, helping you increase self-awareness and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Challenges such as anxiety, grief, health concerns, relationship issues, depression, stress, emotional isolation, low self-confidence, and family difficulties are something we all encounter at different points in life. These challenges can impact our ability to cope and affect our overall quality of life.
By taking steps to regain a sense of control, you can improve your well-being and feel more like yourself again. Talking to someone impartial and professionally trained, in a safe and non-judgemental space, is one of the most effective ways to achieve this.
You’re welcome to start with a free 30–40 minute phone consultation—a chance to meet me, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
To become a Counsellor, I trained for three years at The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute (affiliated with Coventry University) in Nottingham, and I have a BSc (Hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), which means I work in accordance with a strict ethical code, have regular supervision and attend a number of continual professional development workshops each year to enhance and develop my clinical practice.
Together with three other colleagues, I set up and ran for four years Nottingham Counsellors Group, a not-for-profit group providing training for therapists in Nottingham.
Additional information about me
A requirement of my professional training was that I undertook personal therapy myself. Over three years, I explored my past and present ways of relating to others. I have confronted and explored areas of my past that have been painful. This has given me increased self-awareness and insight.
I have experience of working with individuals of all ages and now specialise in adults. I appreciate that it is sometimes difficult to name and categorise a problem and that sometimes problems overlap several areas. The areas of counselling I deal with, listed above is purely a guide and does not include everything that I may be able to help you with.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
