About me
Welcome. My name is Sarah, and I am available for individual online therapy for both adults and young adults. I also offer couples therapy. I prioritise your individual needs and goals while offering a warm, empathetic, and safe space to explore and better manage life challenges. Whether or not you know exactly what you want to work on or are simply looking for a confidential and caring place to discuss whatever is on your mind, I can help you with that.
I work with people from a variety of backgrounds (cultures, religions, ethnicities, ages, etc.) and my practice is affirming of different identities (LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergence). I aim to provide a space where you can say things fully without fear of judgement, and where the pace is yours.
I offer an initial free 20-minute consultation either online or by phone to discuss what your needs and goals are for therapy. I see the majority of my clients once a week for 50-minute sessions online; however, we will decide together, depending on your needs and goals, what will work best for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a psychotherapist registered with the BACP and a doctoral candidate in Counselling Psychology, researching the therapeutic relationship.
Over the past six years I have worked with young adults and adults in the NHS, mental health charities and university counselling centres, both in person and online. That work has spanned depression, anxiety, trauma and cPTSD, grief, chronic illness, experiences of abuse, and questions of identity and belonging — as well as periods where someone simply couldn't say what was wrong.
Having lived and worked in several countries, I'm particularly interested in what happens when a life crosses cultures and languages: the parts that don't translate, and the parts that are hard to explain to people who haven't moved.
In private practice I work integratively with individuals and couples. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), psychodynamic and existential psychotherapy, and I draw on them according to what a particular person needs rather than fitting you to a method. What stays constant is the relationship itself. I pay close attention to what happens between us, because that is often where the useful information is.
My aim is a space where you can say things fully without fear of judgement, and where the pace is yours.
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.

Further information
I have extensive experience working with people from a variety of backgrounds and identities (culture, ethnicity, religion, LGBTQIA+, etc.). Having lived and worked in multiple countries, I am genuinely appreciative of diversity and how our social and cultural experiences impact our lives. You are the expert of your own life. I am here to hold space for you, encourage deeper reflection, and help you with the tools needed for making positive changes.
