Counsellor, EMDR Therapist & Clinical Supervisor

About me

Hi, my name is Sarah. I am a Qualified Integrative Counsellor and Therapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor our sessions to suit your individual needs. I have over ten years of experience working with individuals as well as couples.

I am a Relate-trained couples therapist, trauma-informed, and EMDR-trained, enabling me to support clients with a wide variety of emotional, relational, and trauma-related issues.

I believe that to get the most from counselling, it is important to find a therapist who feels right for you - someone you can connect with, feel safe with, and trust to listen without judgment. My aim is to offer a calm, confidential, and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Hopefully, we’ll find that natural connection which allows you to feel comfortable and secure talking with me. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions, or to arrange an initial consultation so we can meet and see how it feels to work together.

I offer face-to-face and online appointments, working with adults, individuals, and couples, from my clinics in Sanderstead and South Godstone, Surrey.

Below are just some examples of the issues I work with:

  • Relationship issues
  • Separation & divorce
  • Trauma / PTSD
  • Domestic abuse
  • Bereavement & loss
  • Low self-esteem & confidence
  • Stress & anger
  • Anxiety
  • Sexual abuse
  • Living with partners or family members with drug & alcohol addiction

In addition to my counselling work, I am a qualified Counselling Supervisor, offering supervision to counsellors working with adults — both individuals and couples.

I am also a BUPA-approved therapist -https://finder.bupa.co.uk/go/mrs_sarah_warrington

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and appear on their Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I am also a Proffesional Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS).

I am a fully qualified counsellor with an Advanced Professional Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling (2012), a Diploma in Counselling Supervision,  a Relate-trained couples counsellor and a trained EMDR practitioner - levels, 1, 2 and 3.

Since 2012, I have been working in private practice with adult individuals and couples. Alongside this, I also volunteered as a counsellor at a Women’s Centre, where I gained invaluable experience supporting clients with a wide range of complex and sensitive issues. I have also worked at Relate as a Couples Counsellor.

I have specialist training in working with Trauma and PTSD, and am qualified in both EMDR and the Rewind Technique. I am also trained in sexual abuse recovery and am a fully trained facilitator for the Freedom Programme, supporting those affected by domestic abuse.

In addition to my client work, I am a qualified Supervisor, offering clinical supervision to counsellors who work with adult individuals and couples.

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.
