About me

Hello, my name is Sarah. Welcome to my profile.

You may have come to a point where you are feeling unsure, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in ways that are impacting on your work and/or  relationships.  Reaching out for support takes courage, and I’m here to help you take those next steps at your own pace.  My goal as a therapist is to offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore your personal or professional challenges and look at them from a fresh perspective.  

I work with a wide range of issues, including: anxiety, anger, bereavement and grief, depression, low self-esteem, disordered eating, relationship and sexual issues, loneliness, guilt and shame, emotional or physical abuse, family stress, work-related pressures, sleep difficulties and general low mood.

My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic models to suit your individual needs. I listen with empathy and without judgement, helping you gain clarity, understand your emotions and develop healthier ways of coping.  I offer you a space to pause, breathe and reflect, helping you to make sense of your experience and make meaningful change.   I believe you hold the answers within you — therapy can help you uncover them.  A place where you can pause and reflect, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and move towards meaningful change.

Sessions are available in person in Streatham, or online/telephone if you prefer the flexibility of remote counselling. I offer both short-term and long-term work depending on what feels right for you.

If any of this resonates with you, then please email me.  We can arrange a brief introductory call so you can ask questions and get a sense of how I work.

Further information

I believe that you have the answers, you may just need some help finding them and bringing them to a level of awareness.  I will use challenge, reflection and stretch to help you identify them in a safe, manageable way.  I guarantee a collaborative working relationship.  You will not be on your own.

I have lived and worked in a multi-cultural environment all my life and aware that anyone can experience mental health struggles regardless of our backgrounds and upbringing.  Anyone of us can find ourselves needing help, and I want to help.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
