About me
I am an accredited psychotherapist with over ten years of clinical experience offering relational, confidential and deeply reflective therapy.
You might be experiencing anxiety, a life transition, loss or difficult relationships. You may be affected by the past, questioning your sense of self or your purpose and future. If any of this sounds familiar, I may be able to help through either time limited or open-ended longer term therapy.
We would have a brief initial call (no cost) and if it felt right we would arrange an initial session where we can discuss what's bringing you in and how therapy together would be most helpful. We would then meet weekly at the same time to build consistent therapeutic support and have deeper conversations.
My approach is relational, empathic and integrative - drawing on psychodynamic, person-centred and existential approaches. We would explore beyond the symptoms, discovering the root of your problems as well as what it means for you to exist. You will be empowered to face the challenges, anxieties and uncertainties of life and to re(discover) your strength and capabilities.
Alongside psychotherapy, I am also a yoga therapist for anxiety with specialist training in trauma. I am neurodiversity-affirming and have experience supporting clients who are being assessed for autism and ADHD, as well as those integrating a diagnosis later in life.
I am committed to working inclusively with LGBTQIA+ clients and people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. I approach each person’s experience with openness, curiosity and sensitivity to the wider social and cultural contexts that shape our lives.
Please get in touch via email (hello@sanctuarywithsarah.com) or you can book an introductory call directly through Counselling Directory. I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
