About me
Are you finding relationships - romantic, family, friendship, or your relationship with yourself - harder than you expected?
You might feel anxious, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of how to express your needs. Maybe you’ve been through a challenging experience recently, or things from the past keep resurfacing in ways you don’t fully understand.
Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to unpack it alone.
Hi, I’m Sarah, an integrative therapist based in London, and I help people make sense of what’s happening inside them so they can feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their relationships. My approach is warm, collaborative and steady. Together we explore what’s not working, what you long for, and what needs attention so you can move forward in a way that feels true for you.
If what you’re reading resonates, you’re welcome to arrange a free 15-minute phone or video call to see how we might work together.
How I work
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re not used to opening up or you’re unsure what to expect. My aim is to create a calm, friendly, welcoming space where you can talk freely without judgement or pressure.
Some people come wanting to understand their anxiety or self-esteem; others want help navigating relationships, boundaries, people-pleasing, or patterns that repeat. You don’t need to arrive with clear answers - we uncover them together.
In our sessions, we might explore:
- your relationship patterns and attachment dynamics
- anxiety, overthinking and self-criticism
- people-pleasing, perfectionism or overwhelm
- childhood or family experiences shaping how you feel today
- boundaries, communication and emotional balance
- how to reconnect with your needs, values and sense of self
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from several therapeutic approaches depending on what suits you. We’ll mainly talk things through together, and occasionally I might offer a somatic exercise or a guided visualisation if you feel open to trying it. There’s never any pressure - you decide what feels helpful, and we move at your pace. Sessions typically last 50 minutes and we can work short-term around specific goals, or longer-term if you’d like deeper exploration.
Endings are important. When it’s time to finish, we take time to reflect on what’s changed and what feels possible next.
What to expect from your first contact
I offer a free 15-minute call so you can get a feel for me and ask any questions. There’s no pressure to share anything personal - it’s simply a chance to see if working together feels right.
If we decide to begin, we’ll schedule a first session where we talk about what’s brought you here and what you hope for. Many people say they feel a sense of relief after this initial step.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working as a people manager and mental-health advocate, supporting individuals through workplace stress, burnout and significant life transitions.
This experience helps me understand the pressures many people face today - balancing work, relationships, identity, self-worth, and the constant noise of expectations.
I am a trained and registered practitioner with the BACP, receive regular supervision, undertake ongoing training, and work inclusively with clients of all genders, sexualities, identities and backgrounds.
I currently work privately, with experience counselling in the NHS and charity organisations.
Member organisations
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.
