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 work mostly with adults. 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.
People seek counselling for many reasons, from any anxiety related issues or relationship difficulties to the more complex issues, such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or abuse. Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, it is important that you feel you can talk openly to your counsellor, so that you can build a therapeutic relationship together and work towards your goal.
The counselling work sometimes needs to be a long term intervention and other times the work can be done as a short term intervention. I am able to offer you both, but this will always be led by you, depending on your own needs and the issues that you would like to bring to the counselling.
My main work is with the NHS, but I also manage my own private practice and counsel people affected by crime for a local charity.
I work mainly with adults and I can offer appointments mostly at weekends.
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 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.
