About me
Hi, I’m Sarah, and I support women through life’s transitions.
Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of working with women of all ages and backgrounds. In that time, I have come to understand just how varied, and how deeply personal, a woman's experience can be.
Perhaps you are navigating perimenopause or menopause, facing fertility struggles, or coming to terms with the end of a relationship. You may be grieving a loss - whether that is a person, a chapter of life, or the future you once imagined. Or perhaps you feel anxious, stuck or overwhelmed, unsure of who you are and what you want.
Whatever has brought you here, you do not have to make sense of it alone. With experience rooted in private practice, higher education, and bereavement settings, I offer a warm, nurturing approach and work at a pace that feels right for you.
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and finding someone you feel comfortable with matters more than any particular approach. With that in mind, I offer an initial consultation as a chance for us to connect, for you to share what has brought you to therapy and get a feel for how it might be working together. There is absolutely no obligation to continue.
If we decide to work together, sessions will be at the same time each week. We can agree on a set number of sessions or keep things open-ended, checking in regularly to make sure you are getting what you need.
If you are curious about starting therapy, I would love to hear from you. Feel free to get in touch to ask any questions, or arrange an initial consultation.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
