About me
Who am i
Hi, I’m Sarah.
I’m a fully qualified and insured integrative counsellor with nine years of postgraduate experience, working with adults facing a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
My interest in counselling grew from personal experience — I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. That insight has shaped how I work: with empathy, honesty, and a deep respect for your individual journey.
As someone who is neurodiverse, living with dyslexia, I bring a unique perspective to my work. While it has presented challenges, it’s also given me a creative and thoughtful way of seeing the world. I believe that having a fresh pair of eyes and ears on a difficulty can offer real insight and make people feel truly heard.
Graduating from university while managing personal hurdles taught me that we’re often stronger than we realise — and I hold that belief for my clients, too.
How I work
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from different therapeutic approaches to suit your unique needs. My core training is person-centred, which means our sessions will focus on you — your pace, your experiences, and your goals.
I work relationally, which involves looking at the relationships in your life — including those with people, roles, or parts of yourself — to help make sense of what’s going on for you.
I currently offer sessions via Zoom and telephone, with limited face-to-face availability.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
I began my counselling training in 2012, completing Levels 1, 2, and 3 in Person-Centred Counselling. I then went on to study a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling at Hull University.
In line with BACP guidance, I complete a minimum of 30 hours of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) each year, which includes formal training and independent learning.
Some of the additional training I’ve completed includes:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Perinatal Mental Health
Tokophobia (fear of childbirth)
Person-Centred Experiential Therapy (most recent)
In 2018, I also completed a CPCAB Level 6 course in Counselling Supervision.
Experience
I have over 14 years of counselling experience, having worked in charities, the NHS, and private practice.
My early work included three years of volunteering with two charities supporting survivors of sexual violence — one working with women, and the other inclusive of all genders.
From 2015 to 2024, I worked with a Hull-based charity under the NHS Let’s Talk service. I specialised in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals through postnatal depression, anxiety, miscarriage, stillbirth, health anxiety, and birth trauma. I also worked with a broad range of general issues including OCD, hoarding, grief and loss, domestic and emotional abuse, and coercive relationship patterns.
Since moving into private practice in 2023, I continue to support adults with a wide range of challenges. I also have a growing focus on working with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia — creating a space that recognises and respects different ways of experiencing the 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.
