About me
Hi, I'm Sarah, I am a calm, friendly and professional Counsellor.
I offer confidential one to one counselling; either face to face counselling in Huddersfield, or online counselling nationwide.
If you are struggling right now, talking things through with me could help. Maybe you have been feeling down for some time but don't know why, maybe you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, or you have experienced some trauma in your past.
Perhaps you have an addiction you cannot control or you are having problems in your relationship; whatever the reason is that has brought you here, contacting me will be the first step you take to take back control of your life.
I won't judge, I will listen. I respect that each client is an individual who has a unique set of life experiences, and a unique response to them. I will use my training and experience to help you.

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.
