About me
I’m Sarah and I specialise in working with adults struggling with generalised anxiety, OCD, overthinking and low self-esteem, helping adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck or under pressure to feel more in control.
Maybe your mind never really switches off. You worry, replay conversations, second-guess yourself or feel you should be doing more. You might look like you’re coping, while inside you feel exhausted, anxious or overwhelmed.
I’m Sarah, a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. My approach is warm, collaborative and down-to-earth. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be completely honest about what’s going on, without judgement.
Sometimes, the ways you’ve always coped stop working. What once felt manageable starts to feel harder. You might know you want things to change, but feel unsure where to begin.
Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening and the patterns that keep you stuck. We’ll look at the thoughts, behaviours and expectations that may be keeping anxiety going, and find different ways of responding.
That might mean quietening a mind that won’t switch off, breaking the cycle of reassurance and rumination, loosening the grip of perfectionism, building confidence, or helping you feel more secure in yourself. For OCD, we can work specifically with the thoughts and compulsions that keep the cycle going.
Therapy isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about feeling more like yourself again — with more choice, more confidence and less ruled by anxiety.
I offer online CBT therapy to adults across the UK. Sessions are private, personal and professional, giving you the space to talk openly about what you’re experiencing.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong or have the right words for it. We can start there — with a conversation about what’s been happening and whether I might be the right person to help.

Additional information
I am registered with several insurance companies and also accept self funded clients. If you do not hold health insurance, I can support you in making a treatment plan so you can have a level of expectation and transparency when it comes to the cost of the sessions.
Sessions are £120 and I keep a small number of lower cost spaces available - if fees are a barrier, let’s discuss that. I’m happy to talk through what might work for you.

Further information
I work online, which means you can have therapy from the comfort of home - whether you’re juggling work, parenting or just prefer the flexibility that online sessions offer.
If you’re thinking about therapy, but feel unsure, that’s completely normal. I offer a free 15 minute introductory chat, so we can talk through what you are looking for and whether it feels like the right fit. No pressure, just a chance to ask questions and get a feel for things.
