About me
Hi, I’m Sarah.
I know how hard it can be to reach out when you’re not feeling okay - so if you’re here, that already matters.
I’m not a one-size-fits-all therapist, and I don’t expect you to be a one-size-fits-all person. There are lots of versions of us, and all of them are welcome here - the ones that feel fine, and the ones that don’t.
When there’s safety and trust between us, that’s when something more real can come through. I aim to create a space where you can be honest - even about the things that feel messy, uncomfortable, or hard to say out loud. You won’t be judged, and you won’t be “too much”. I’ll meet you with warmth, but also honesty - and at times, I may gently challenge you if it feels helpful.
I work in a human, relational way. That means I won’t sit back silently or analyse you from a distance - I’m there with you in it. We go at your pace, but we don’t have to stay stuck.
Together, we might look at how your past experiences - including trauma - are still shaping how you feel, think, and move through the world now. The aim is to help things make more sense, and to support you in living in a way that feels more like you.
I’m a humanistic therapist at my core, and I also draw on other approaches where they feel useful. I’m particularly interested in the link between emotional experience and the body - how things we’ve been through can show up physically as well as mentally.
Therapy isn’t always easy. It can bring up anger, sadness, shame, fear, grief - all of it. But you don’t have to carry that on your own.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or just not quite yourself, you’re really welcome to reach out. We can figure it out together.
Training, qualifications & experience
Clinical Diploma in Humanistic Counselling - Metanoia Institute
BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling - Middlesex University
I’ve worked with people navigating a range of experiences, including trauma, grief, abuse, self-harm, and times of deep emotional overwhelm.
I also complete my required amount of hours according to the BACP of CPD.
Alongside my private practice, I work within the music industry - offering therapeutic support to artists, bands, crew, venue teams, agents, and managers. I understand the unique pressures of creative work: the highs of performance and connection, and the quiet lows that can follow; the long hours, uncertainty, and the weight of keeping everything going. My approach offers space to pause, process, and reconnect - so that wellbeing and creativity can grow side by side.
I offer compassionate, inclusive counselling for LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse clients and welcome people from all backgrounds and identities.
Memberships of Professional Bodies
Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) — working in accordance with their Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
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.

Further information
I offer a free 20-minute phone call to begin with. It’s just a chance for us to talk through what’s brought you here and get a feel for whether working together feels right.
If we decide to go ahead, we’ll find a regular time that works for both of us and take it from there.
Sessions are 50 minutes. I tend to work weekly, and we can figure out together what feels right from there. If you feel like you might need longer sessions, we can talk that through too.
Alongside 1:1 therapy, I also offer psychoeducational group work - both one-off sessions and longer programmes (usually 5 or 10 weeks). These are designed to support healthier ways of thinking and relating, drawing on a mix of therapeutic approaches, as well as grounding and body-based work.
I tend to shape these groups around particular themes or groups of people - for example women-only spaces, menopause, neurodivergence, burnout and overwhelm, vagus nerve work, parenting, men-only groups, or younger adults (18–25) and music industry. If something like that feels relevant, you’re welcome to get in touch and we can look at what might work for you.
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy.
I’m fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
