About me
Hi, I’m Sarah,
Whether you’re dealing with relational trauma, loss, or relationship difficulties, I offer a supportive space to help you understand what’s going on and find a way forward.
I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported.
I work with a range of experiences including relational trauma, historical abuse, bereavement, and complex grief. You might be facing relationship difficulties—such as breakups, affairs, or family challenges—or feeling the impact of stress, burnout, bullying, or work-related pressures. Some clients come to me feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of their direction, and are looking to reconnect with themselves or make meaningful changes.
I am a trauma-informed practitioner with experience supporting both men and women, including those affected by domestic violence and historical abuse. My approach focuses on what happened to you, rather than what is wrong with you, gently helping to release shame that may have been placed on you by others.
I welcome people from all walks of life and offer both short-term and long-term therapy. Sessions are available weekly or fortnightly.
Therapeutic Approach
I work relationally, which means I understand many of our struggles as shaped by our relationships—with others and with ourselves.
My training is humanistic and integrative, with a focus on your growth and potential. Together, we can begin to untangle patterns, make sense of your experiences, and explore what may be happening beneath the surface. I often use metaphor to support this deeper understanding.
I am open and honest in my approach, so you won’t be left second-guessing what I’m thinking. At the same time, I will gently adapt to your needs—whether that’s offering a steady, supportive space or sharing insights and psychoeducation to help you better understand yourself.
Types of Clients I Work With
I welcome people from all walks of life, including those experiencing relational trauma, historical abuse, bereavement, and complex grief.
You might be navigating relationship difficulties—such as breakups, affairs, or family challenges—or noticing patterns like people-pleasing or struggling to express your thoughts and feelings. You may feel overwhelmed by stress, burnout, bullying, or work pressures, or feel lost, disconnected, or unsure of your direction.
I also work in a neuro-affirming way with clients who have ADHD or dyslexia, supporting you to gently untangle negative self-beliefs and build self-understanding and confidence.
Grief is a central part of my work. I recognise that everyone’s experience is unique, and I will meet you wherever you are, supporting you in whatever shape your grief takes.
Further Insight
I also write a blog on my website, which offers a gentle insight into how I work and the perspectives I bring.

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.
