About me
Sarah is qualified in the integrative approach to counselling, meaning she draws upon different modalities to best suit the individual needs of the client. She mostly identifies with the skills and techniques offered in Person-Centred therapy however. Her main aim is to provide an empathetic and unconditionally supportive space for her clients. Through building a strong relationship and trust, she can help them uncover their own value, whilst strengthening their ability to cope with a variety of life and mental health issues. She may also use the Psychodynamic approach to help process underlying, possibly unconscious, feelings from the past. Negative patterns in thoughts and behaviour may be recognised and challenged using knowledge of CBT. Sarah collaboratively works towards improved self-awareness and increased life fulfilment for her clients.
Having worked in many industries and travelling and living in different locations, Sarah has developed an understanding of varied lifestyles and backgrounds. Teaching in other countries, in many different environments, has shaped her respect for all types of people and their individual life struggles. She understands the pressures of modern-day life and the direct impact this can have on happiness and mental health. Sarah’s life experience has helped her be able to provide a non-judgmental attitude towards others. She particularly understands anxiety, family/relationship issues, low self-esteem, life stressors, work issues.

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.
