About me

I help individuals and couples have better relationships by cultivating secure attachments, building trust and improving communication. Heal anxious attachments, recover from relationship trauma, grow your self-worth, strengthen mental resilience, and become relationship fit. 

I'm Dr Sarah, Global Award Winning (2024) Clinical Psychologist, Expert in relationships and attachments. I am the founder of Relationship Success Lab (www.relationshipsuccesslab.com), delivering individual and couple's therapy in person and online, as well as therapeutic wellness retreats.

If you have experienced:
- Repeated painful relationships, where you feel on edge questioning if you are "good enough".
- You scramble trying to "keep the peace" by either doing a lot to keep the other person happy, or by keeping quiet and sacrificing yourself.
- You feel lost, panicked, and low in mood. 
- These can all be in the context of romantic, family, friend, colleagues etc. relationships.

If any of these ring true, I want you to know that you are totally safe here and that you matter. I honour and respect your presence, and I hold you with so much compassion.

I have spent years refining my practice, use evidence-based techniques to support my clients to change, heal and grow. Through the transformation, my clients have felt:
- More confident than they ever have before.
- They recognised their worth and how infinite this is.
- They were so conscious of toxic patterns that they were able to make meaningful choices that were aligned to their greater truth and values. 
- They no longer felt persuaded to do things that were not aligned for them - they did what they needed to do from a clean slate.
- Healed old wounds including abandonment fears, inadequacies, and traumas. 
- They self-loved so much more than they ever thought possible.
- They created the best relationships for their soul and their mind - ending toxic relationship patterns and creating relationships where they commanded respect, felt heard and understood, were seen and appreciated. They felt truly loved just the way they were. 

To support clients through this, I have created a specialised program that goes deep into people's healing. I support clients to resolve traumas through: tapping into the subconscious, emotions, mental cognitions, behaviours, and somatic. This is through utilising an integrative approach of hypnosis, CBT, CAT, CFT, Somatic based healing, and much more. 

I invite you to take the first step in prioritising yourself and booking in to gain support and guidance.

Welcome to the new you.
