About me
Welcome. My name is Sarah. I'm a Clinical Psychologist and accredited EMDR practitioner. I've worked in both the NHS and private sectors for over 20 years. I specialise in women's mental health and work across the lifespan. I predominantly help and support women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, both past and present. My area of expertise is the perinatal period. This can be a challenging time and I can support you with the changes in identity and adjustment to parenthood. I also work with women around birth trauma, miscarriage and loss. Working with couples and families when appropriate.

Further information
Deciding to seek help can feel daunting. The idea of being vulnerable or opening up old wounds are regular reservations I hear. Please don't let that put you off seeking help. I am a kind and compassionate psychologist. I provide a safe and non judgemental space. For any further information or to meet for a free initial consultation please get in touch.
