About me
Welcome - Im Sarah.......
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed by your emotions, grieving, or unsure how to make sense of what you are experiencing?
Perhaps you are struggling to explain how you feel, or you simply need a safe space where you can talk openly about what is troubling you.
If so, I offer a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space where you will be listened to and heard.
I am a dedicated, respectful and passionate counsellor / clincal supervisor , offering therapy / supervision on a one-to-one basis with adults. As a trauma informed therapist, I aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable exploring the experiences, emotions and challenges that may be confusing or difficult.
I genuinely love what I do and I deeply believe in working with the 'whole' person, rather than a 'label'. Through talking together, we can explore your emotions and feelings, your experiences, what is going on in your life and whether there is anything that you would like to further understand, change or achieve.
To give you a little background about how I work, you will be given my full, professional commitment, whilst we work at a pace that is suitable for you. This is to encourage / enable you to talk openly and freely about your emotions, whatever you feel is important in that moment or what is causing an imbalance in your life. This may be things like abuse / narcissism, anxiety, anger, a traumatic event that has happened or is happening in your life or it could be you would like to build on your confidence or low self-esteem.
Many people find that speaking with a counsellor gives them the opportunity, perhaps for the first time, to talk openly about themselves and their thoughts without feeling ridiculed, criticised or judged.
When speaking with you, my aim is to enable you to experience communicating or interacting in possibly new ways, which can, in turn nurture and allow for a deeper, emotional closeness and intimacy within your own relationships.
I will be respectful, supportive and understanding as we gently unravel your experiences and feelings together. We can discuss your goals and expectations within our sessions, to ensure this time and space is used to meet and focus on your needs.
No personal judgement will be passed by myself and most importantly you will be actively listened to, for me to gain an understanding of your life from your perspective. This will help you to express your thoughts and feelings within our safe, confidential environment, whilst empowering you to make positive changes in your life that you are comfortable with.
Throughout my counselling career, I have been privileged to be able to support many people through their difficult times and from these experiences I have learnt that YOU are the expert in your life, and the one who holds the answers from within. By working therapeutically together, we can begin to untangle your feelings, further understand your lived experiences and for you to regain clarity and work towards the goals you may be looking to achieve.
I have vast experience of working therapeutically with couples, exploring relationship difficulties, communication, emotional connection, patterns within relationships and the impact that past experiences can have on our present relationships.
This experience has provided me with a valuable understanding of relationships and the complexities that can arise within them and has enabled me to consider how our relationships and past experiences may influence the way we think, feel and interact with others.
I have also worked with charitable organisations, supporting people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including narcissistic and domestic abuse, relationship problems, alcohol misuse, family issues, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.
These experiences have helped me to develop a broad understanding of the different challenges people can face, while always remembering that every person's experience is unique.
General information
I provide both long and short-term therapy for adults aged 18 and over. We can discuss your needs and progress at regular intervals and you can choose how often or little we work together.
I am a registered member of the BACP and have achieved their Certificate of Proficiency. I am a fully insured and qualified counsellor who receives regular clinical supervision. As a counsellor, I regularly undertake continuous professional development in order to further expand on my skills and current knowledge.
I am an experienced fully trained clinical supervisor and I am able to offer supervision to trainee counsellors, qualified counsellors, EAP's, social workers and other professions.
I hope the above information has given you an understanding of myself and how we could work together. I realise and recognise choosing a counsellor can be challenging and somewhat confusing on times, therefore, if you would like to contact me to discuss any questions you may have, then please contact me either on mobile number 07944 604683 or if you prefer, you can email me. I also have a website - www.sarahwebbcounselling.co.uk, which has a Q&A section, which has helpful information if you require it.
Thank you for taking time out to read my page. Take care and warm regards.

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.
