About me
Hi, I'm Sarah, I'm a calm and friendly Counsellor and Psychotherapist, based in Huddersfield, offering face to face, and online sessions.
I'm qualified to level 7, with a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy & Counselling; and I have more than 10 years' experience working with people who need help and support to deal with difficulties in their lives; including anxiety and depression, domestic and sexual abuse, chronic illness, cancer and addiction, and trauma and low self-worth.
I offer clients a safe space, where I listen with no judgement, and you can talk through your experiences, and express difficult feelings. With my input, guidance and challenge (where appropriate), I can help you to better understand things, and ultimately help you to work towards positive changes in your life.

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.
