About us
Hello, I'm Sarah Hanchet
I'm a UKCP Adult Psychotherapist. I am also qualified with the Institute of Group Analysis as a group therapist.
I called my practice The Wisdom Is In The Room because I believe we all have an innate wisdom about how to feel in balance and heal ourselves.
I focus mainly on relationship difficulties, the impact of trauma from growing up and fertility difficulties.
Training, qualifications & experience
I originally qualified as a group therapist with the Institute of Group Analysis and conducted therapy groups in the NHS, private hospitals and private practice.
I then achieved UKCP accreditation as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and set up my practice in Central London.
To deepen my trauma-based work, I am currently training with the Institute of Embodied Psychotherapy.
My Focus
I work with adults in these 3 broad areas:
Relationships
I work with people trying to navigate relationship difficulties. I often see people in couples therapy who need an individual therapist. I see clients individually for open-ended therapy, and I offer several therapy groups.
At time of writing, I offer a Men's Group for relationship difficulties. Do check my website for more details
Infertility
I work with people with fertility issues and see them individually.
I can see men and women navigating an infertility diagnosis, in separate therapy groups.
Trauma
I work with people affected by childhood trauma, including sexual and physical abuse, neglect and attachment difficulties.
As well as exploring your story, I focus on how your experience has stayed in your body and is affecting your nervous system.
