About me
Hello, I’m Sarah.
Sometimes the hardest thing is admitting we need help—that we can’t keep holding everything on our own. If you’ve landed here, maybe something in you is ready for a shift. You don’t need to know exactly what that is yet. You just have to begin.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out, especially if you’ve always had to manage things yourself. You’re not too much, and you’re not too late. You can come exactly as you are. Our sessions are a confidential space where your story will be held with warmth, care, and without judgement. You don’t need to have all the answers—just a willingness to be curious.
I’ve spent over a decade supporting individuals and couples from many different walks of life. I do this work because I believe we all deserve spaces where we can be fully seen—without masks, roles, or expectations.
I warmly welcome people of all backgrounds, orientations, and identities—including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients, those navigating migration or mixed heritage, and anyone who has ever felt “between worlds.”
My approach is collaborative and respectful. You don’t need to know how therapy works or have the “right words.” We’ll figure it out together in a way that honours your rhythm and lived experience. I don’t offer quick fixes or generic advice. Instead, we’ll explore gently what’s happening beneath the surface—at your pace—so you can better understand your patterns, reconnect with your feelings, and move towards a more grounded and meaningful way of living.
I work with both the mind and body because healing isn’t just about insight—it’s also about sensing, feeling, and returning to yourself. When words fall short, I often integrate body-based or creative approaches to help express what’s harder to name. I’m comfortable working with different communication styles—including those who process internally, use fewer words, or prefer structure and clarity.
Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating uncertainty, or seeking more connection and aliveness, we’ll work with care and attunement to what your nervous system—and whole self—can hold. Therapy, for me, is a space for real relationship—grounded in trust, curiosity, and compassion.
If you’re unsure about therapy—or if you’ve had mixed experiences in the past—that’s completely understandable. We can go at your pace, and I’ll work to earn your trust.
I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spaces for those who may not otherwise be able to access therapy. I recognise that life circumstances and financial resources can vary widely, and I want to honour that. If cost feels like a barrier, you're welcome to mention this in our initial consultation—there’s no need to justify your situation. If a concession space is available, we can talk together about what would feel manageable and supportive for you.
If any of this resonates, I’d be glad to hear from you. You’re welcome to get in touch with any questions or to explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a doctorate in counselling and psychotherapy from the University of Edinburgh and have trained in both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. I was drawn to these ways of working because they treat each person as unique and whole—focusing on understanding your story, building self-awareness, and supporting meaningful change.
Since qualifying as a relationship counsellor with Relationship Scotland, I’ve become more flexible in how I practise. I draw from a range of approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you. Over the years, I’ve supported people through all kinds of life transitions—moving abroad, starting over after loss, navigating career or relationship changes, and figuring out who they are in the middle of it all.
My work has taken me through a wide range of settings, including private practice, community programmes, mental health services, and school-based support. I’ve worked with adults, couples, and young people facing complex emotional challenges—from anxiety, low mood, and trauma to neurodivergence, identity exploration, and relationship difficulties. I also have experience supporting those leaving harmful or abusive relationships, and I regularly work with couples around communication, intimacy, and infidelity concerns.
Alongside this, I’ve contributed to research on healing through vocal self-expression—exploring how voice, creativity, and body awareness can support emotional regulation and deeper self-connection. This continues to shape how I bring warmth, presence, and creativity into my work.
I care deeply about the quality of support I offer, so I continue to grow through regular workshops, supervision, and ongoing training. This helps me bring fresh insight and grounded care to the work we do together—always led by your pace, your values, and your lived experience.
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.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Fees

Concessions offered for
Additional information
Therapy is a space that asks for your presence, your truth, and your time. It also asks for mine.
I view the fee as part of the therapeutic relationship itself—a structure that helps support the depth and continuity of our work. Just as I show up with care, attention, and consistency each week, your financial contribution helps uphold the space we hold together.
My standard fee for a 50-minute session is:
£85 for individual therapy
£100 for couples therapy
That said, I believe therapy should be as accessible as possible. I reserve a number of reduced-fee spaces for those who need them. If cost might be a barrier, you're welcome to mention this during our initial consultation—we can talk together about what feels manageable and explore whether a concession space is currently available.
Therapy is a shared investment—of time, energy, and trust. If you're feeling drawn to this work, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can explore what feels supportive and sustainable.
I typically meet with clients weekly, with the pace and duration of therapy shaped collaboratively based on your needs, preferences, and goals.
