Sarah Flux

I am a trauma-informed & anti-pathologising Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic counsellor. Trained in lite CBT, applied psychology as well as a polyvagal approach. I can assist you with unveiling any unconsciously held beliefs that may be negatively affecting you and your relationships, or identifying unhelpful thought processes to increase self-awareness and choice.  If you are suffering from anxiety I can offer tools to help you regulate a dysregulated nervous system.  I am able to offer both open-ended and time-limited therapy.

What to expect in your first session

Sessions can be face-to-face, online, or by telephone and begin with a half-hour online assessment. This is an opportunity for me to actively listen to you, to hear what is troubling you and has brought you for counselling. It gives me a chance to assess and explain how I may be able to help you and importantly, for you to see whether I am the right fit for you. The assessment is free and does not obligate you to proceed with me.

How counselling can help

We are all uniquely impacted by different experiences, relationships, and the context of our lives. Sometimes this impact can be negative or sadly deeply damaging. Talking to a trained professional outside of family and friends can help you gain a fresh perspective. I am here to help you. Together, we will explore how you have been impacted, and look at thoughts, feelings, or beliefs you may or may not be conscious of that could be preventing you from thriving in your life.

I will listen to your story without judgment, while we focus on what is important to you. My aim is to provide an environment where you feel accepted for who you are and supported throughout the counselling process. I can offer effective tools to help with managing stress/anxiety where appropriate. There are likely to be some challenging moments during the process, but also there can be moments where you make important connections or experience great relief from mental pain. 

The types of mental health issues I work with include anxiety, depression, panic, self-harm, responses to trauma, stress, loneliness, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, identity issues, anger, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, family relationships, work issues, and loss of meaning and purpose in life. Most importantly, I am interested in what has happened to you and has brought you to counselling.
