About me
I’m a Doctor in Counselling Psychology with 19 years of post-qualification experience working with adults (18+) facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy, providing a safe, confidential, and supportive space where you can explore whatever is troubling you.
I offer professional therapy that is tailored to your unique needs, helping you work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. My style is warm, empathic, and non-judgmental. I believe in seeing you as a whole person, considering your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing in our work together.
As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic models including Psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT). This flexible approach allows us to explore your experiences in depth and develop tools that support meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you're feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of where to start, I can help you identify what you want from therapy and support you in moving towards those goals. Starting therapy can feel like a big decision, and it's important to find the right fit. If you're thinking about beginning therapy or have any questions about how I work, please feel free to get in touch. I'm happy to offer a brief initial consultation to help you decide whether I'm the right therapist for you.
I am also available to provide supervision to qualified therapists and therapists in training.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m Sarah, a Doctor in Counselling Psychology with extensive experience working across the NHS, private practice, and the charity sector. Over the years, I’ve supported individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups—including young adults, adults, and older adults—through a wide range of mental health challenges.
Before establishing my private practice in Harrogate, I spent several years in London working as the Healthcare Manager for a national cancer charity, where I provided psychological support and oversaw services for individuals affected by cancer.
My academic journey began at the University of Teesside, where I completed:
BSc (Hons) in Psychology with Counselling (2003)
Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology (2004)
Doctorate in Counselling Psychology (2006)
I now offer both face-to-face and online therapy, combining professional expertise with a compassionate, client-centred approach.
