About me

Hello, I’m Sarah.

I’m a person-centred, trauma-informed counsellor, working exclusively online—so no matter where you’re based, we can connect if I’m the right counsellor for you.

My work is rooted in empathy and lived experience. I specialise in supporting people who are childless-not-by-choice or navigating the end of their fertility journey. This isn’t just my professional focus; it’s personal. I understand the unique challenges and emotions that come with childlessness because I’ve walked this path myself. In our sessions, you’ll find a space that’s not only supportive but also safe from triggers, because I truly get it.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, with flexibility to adapt to your needs—because life doesn’t pause for therapy, and neither should your support.

While childlessness is often what brings people to my door, it’s rarely the only thing going on. I also have experience supporting clients with:

  • Anxiety, worry, and stress
  • Depression and grief
  • Infertility, miscarriage, and IVF
  • Major life changes, like hysterectomy, menopause, job loss, or divorce
  • Low confidence, self-esteem, or feeling lost

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering a safe and non-judgmental space to explore whatever you bring.

Working Online

I work via Zoom or telephone, making therapy accessible wherever you are.

How it works

If we decide to work together, we’ll start with an agreed number of sessions (often 12 for childlessness-related work) and review regularly. You’re always in control—whether you want to pause, stop, or continue, the choice is yours.

I offer weekly, fortnightly, or monthly sessions, because therapy should fit your life.

Next Steps

Our first step is a free, 30-minute consultation. This is your chance to share what you’d like from counselling, ask me anything, and see if we’re a good fit. Finding the right counsellor is so important—the relationship and trust we build are key to your journey.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
