About me

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile.

My name is Sari. I am a qualified and registered member of BACP and my practice is based in Maidstone town centre.

I have a personal interest in working with people who have experienced trauma, neglect and any form of abuse in their life. I am also experienced in working with people with low self -steem, or suffering from anxiety and depression.

I am passionate about the work I do and I always feel humbled by people's life experience. I believe it is important to provide a safe and non judgmental space so that my clients can feel able to discuss their difficulties with confidence throughout the counselling journey.

My main work is with the NHS, but I also manage my own private practice and work for a local charity.

I work only with adults and I can offer appointments mostly on Saturdays.

Please contact me without any obligations on 07759 634 863 or email me if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to help.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
