Sarah Turner MBACP
Intercultural Integrative Psychotherapist/Counsellor
I am a qualified to work with adults, teenagers and children. I also have advanced qualifications in the development of Children and Young People with a specialism in working with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
Part of my offer is to combine these unique experiences to provide a therapeutic space for parents to explore, express and be guided around issues they are facing with their children, to help parents understand what theirs child behaviour is communicating . Helping them to become their own child’s therapist.
My professional career working with children, young people and their families spans over two decades. I have experience working across the board in all areas of education from Early Years, Primary School, Secondary Education and within Youth Justice. I have worked as a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENDCO) helping children and their families gain the additional support they need in gaining additional funding and support with Education Health Care Plans (EHCPs).
I also work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.
I use my knowledge of neuro-science, depth of experience and professional training to explore the trauma and break the patterns created by intergenerational trauma. Thus creating new patterns and developing new choices.
Being Interculturally trained, my theoretical approach embraces the richness of difference and diversity as I lean into the protective factors that the wealth of the individual’s culture brings in, order to foster a stronger sense of self-worth, healing, and growth.
I work in partnership with local authorities, the NHS and Private Sector to help Children, Young People and their families gain the additional support needed to overcome adversity.
In my community work, I deliver whole school therapeutic services by offering both short and long-term complex case therapy to primary and secondary aged children, whilst guiding parents and teachers.
My work in the field of Youth Justice allows me to consider the impact society sometimes plays in shaping negative experiences for some young people and their families who live in the most financially deprived areas. With this understanding I work directly in the community to bring change and challenge inequality by offering conflict resolution groups within schools and youth centres.
I am a registered member with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist and am guided be their ethics, principles and values.

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.
