About me
Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a psychotherapist. I was previously a lawyer for many years, in London and the South East before taking time to raise my three children in Dorset. From 2005, I embarked on counselling training and I then spent some years working as a practitioner with people struggling with addiction both in the Probation Service and for the charity sector. I also have experience of living and working in a boarding school environment. In 2013 I moved with my husband and children to Lincolnshire. Since then I have worked as a recovery practitioner, for the NHS, in a prison setting. I also obtained a Master’s degree and clinical qualification in Psychotherapy from The Sherwood Institute in Nottingham. During that time I acquired extensive experience supporting men, women and children who were survivors of sexual abuse and assault, including childhood trauma. Most recently I have worked as a lead counsellor in the charity sector and also as a psychotherapist for students at Birmingham University (BACP accredited). I also obtained a diploma in clinical supervision from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. I am now working in private practice as a UKCP registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor.
Sometimes life can be difficult and it’s possible to feel overwhelmed by problems. These can be in relationships, work and quality of life and counselling or psychotherapy can help. Therapy can provide an opportunity to be supported and listened to in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment. It can also help with trauma or distress in relation to a life event or crisis. It could also be that problems have been building up over time, such as low self-esteem. Often our adult lives are impacted by our childhood experiences or trauma and it is helpful to explore this with someone trained to understand.
I also work with couples and with people at all stages of relationship. I help people to move forward, feel heard and communicate, especially when things feel stuck. I also work with relationships other than couples, typically a parent and adult child facilitating communication, resolution and healing. I am trained specifically to work with couples and other relationship dynamics. I also have experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and LGBTQ+ people. I can help you explore issues such as sex, trust, infidelity, blended family dynamics, co-parenting, separation.
I work from my therapy room in my cottage, which used to be the original village Post Office. Situated in the peaceful and picturesque village of Harlaxton near Grantham, Lincolnshire it is easily accessible from the A607, A1 and A52 and by public transport. Please feel free to have a look at my profile to help you decide if you would like to contact me.
