About me
*I currently have a 6 week waiting list for new clients*
Hello and Welcome!
I'm Sarah, an experienced psychotherapist based in Shropshire. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space for people navigating a range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
These include Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD and other trauma-related challenges, social anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), low self-esteem, depression and low mood, phobias and lifestyle concerns such as weight loss and maintenance.
Reaching out for support and choosing a therapist can feel like a big step. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have, we can gently explore the areas you wish to focus on in therapy and whether working together feels right for you.
