About me
Hello, I’m Sarah,
I am a fully qualified Counsellor and School Therapist, and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have been supporting people in therapy since 2017. Previously I worked in the NHS supporting Mental Health Teams across Leeds, so I have lots of knowledge about mental health and the impact it has. I also have personal experience of managing anxiety and overwhelming feelings.
Over the years I have helped children, young people and adults with trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, gender identity, neurodivergent conditions like Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia, self-esteem, low confidence, bereavement and loss, attachment difficulties, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and stress.
My aim is to build a genuine, trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with my clients so they can feel comfortable sharing and exploring their thoughts, feelings and experiences with me. Then together we look at ways to make positive changes using lots of different tools and techniques that I learned in my initial studies, developed through regular supervision, professional development courses and experience as a counsellor.
I love to help people, and I feel privileged to do so in my work. I am currently supporting adults face to face based at Rooms @ 1900 Health & Wellbeing Centre, via telephone or online using Teams and WhatsApp Video.
If you would like some help and would like to find out if I can help you, please get in touch.
What some of my clients have said...
"Sarah has provided me a safe space to explore my own mind, experiences, relationships, and helped me gain perspective that I've sorley needed in my life. Her person centred approach has allowed me to explore difficult and unexpected things and helped me navigate my feelings in a way that feels authentic and real. As a trainee counsellor I've developed massively as a father, son, brother and partner even more. Thank you for helping me to feel comfortable in myself"
"Thank you for all the help and support Sarah. You really helped me to get through a difficult time in my life. I have also managed to overcome some recent events which would normally have taken me years or never to deal with and let go. You are a fantastic and beautiful lady with a very warm heart"
"Thank you for listening to me Sarah. You have made me so much better"
"Thank you so much for all your support getting me to a place where I feel a better person and able to cope with my family issues. I wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't made that message. I feel like a new person"

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.
