About me
Hello, my name is Sarah.
I am an accredited and experienced integrative person centred therapeutic counsellor. I offer a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you are free to talk and assured that you will be listened to. I believe in the importance of making you feel comfortable and respected, and my commitment is to support you throughout your therapeutic journey. Recognising that each individual is unique, I tailor every session to meet your specific needs. This personalised approach is designed to help you develop stronger and more positive internal resources, empowering you to pursue a more fulfilling life.
Within my work, I will work with you to develop a deeper understanding of self, support you or your child to implement practical techniques to manage daily life, and discover ways to improve your overall quality of life, emotional wellbeing, mental health, confidence, and self-esteem.
Training, qualifications & experience
I adopt an integrative approach in my therapeutic work, drawing upon my academic background in psychology and my training in person-centred therapy, and a I draw upon of other methodologies which include the psychodynamic approach, attachment theories, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This approach enables me to tailor my practice to the unique needs of each individual I support.
I have experience working with children, young people, and adults within charitable organisations, educational environments, the NHS and mental health organisations such as the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
I am also experienced working therapeutically with neurodivergent children, young people and adults. I ensure support is individualised and person-centred, I understand that every autistic individual and every person with ADHD is unique. While there are shared traits associated with each condition, I understand that these traits impact differently from person to person. As such, I ensure that the therapy I provide is tailored specifically to you and your individual needs. My training as an ADHD coach also allows me to draw upon coaching strategies to further tailor support.
I have worked with and supported individuals experiencing a wide range of difficulties and issues, as detailed in the 'Areas of Counselling' section below.

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.
