About me
Hi, I’m Sarah, a BACP registered Adlerian counsellor and psychotherapist.
I work with clients facing challenging times in their lives, experiencing mental health issues like anxiety and depression, or who simply feel like they could do with getting to know themselves a little better in order to move forward in life. I also work with couples to help uncover dynamics in their relationships that cause conflict and reorientate them into cooperative ways of being together.
What is Adlerian Therapy?
Adlerian therapy, rooted in the principles of Alfred Adler, focuses on gaining insight into our patterns and feelings to foster positive change. Adlerian therapy is an encouraging, holistic and down to earth approach. You are the expert on you, and so together with my knowledge, we will gather insight on your core beliefs, goals and strengths in order to help you face life’s challenges. By understanding our unique perspective on life, we can develop new ways of being that work for us.
During our sessions, we will discuss what’s going on for you in the here and now, and we will also look back, particularly at childhood. The beliefs we form early on in life have an impact on the way we live, and so the more insight we get into them, the better we can understand now, and begin to take action to change things.
Insight + Action = Change
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Adlerian Counselling & Psychotherapy
Introductory Certificate in Adlerian Couples Counselling
I have experience working with clients including those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, bereavement, bipolar disorder, body issues, divorce, addiction. I also have experience working with neurodiverse clients.
Prior to training as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I worked as a freelance social media consultant for small businesses. This has given me a well rounded view of the issues we face that are linked to or increased by our use of social media. The details and nuances of anxiety, body issues, relationships and even addiction have changed in recent years as the use of social media grows, and my knowledge and experience in this sector inform the way I support those who's struggles are linked with the online world.
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.
