Íø±¬ÃÅ

I have availability Monday to Saturday. Please note I am currently working remotely, so sessions would take place over the phone or via zoom.

Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm an integrative therapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ. I offer a warm understanding space where you can talk openly, be yourself and feel truly heard. Whether you're struggling with something specific or just feeling a bit lost.

Since qualifying, I have gained experience working in three secondary schools and have also supported clients in private practice. These experiences have allowed me to work with younger people and adults facing a wide variety of challenges, including low mood, anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts.

I have a particular interest in working with people who experience OCD, intrusive thoughts and health anxiety. This interest comes from both professional experience and personal understanding. These are struggles I faced myself, when I was younger. Because of this, I know how isolating and distressing it can feel, and I also know that change is possible with the right support.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches depending on what best suits you. This can include exploring and challenging unhelpful thought patterns (from cognitive behavioral therapy ), looking at how past experiences and childhood relationships might still be affecting you (from psychodynamic therapy), and creating space for you to explore what is happening in the here and now. My style is gental, collaborative and always centred around your individual needs.

I currently offer remote counselling to clients ages fifteen and over, making therapy flexible and accessible from wherever you feel most comfortable. I also offer a free ten minute consultation, so we can have a brief chat and see if we are a good fit before starting sessions.

If you're thinking about reaching out-or even if you're not sure where to begin, I'm here to support you.

Sessions are 50 minutes (therapeutic hour). The first session is a great opportunity, to see if we are a good fit to work together. This gives you a chance to see if I am someone you feel comfortable talking to and want to share your experiences with. 

It might be, that this is your first time talking to a counsellor and I understand how daunting that can be. I am very down to earth and I would like the opportunity to show you that counselling isn't scary. It's an opportunity to talk freely and to really be heard.  All of our sessions are confidential. I am a member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ, and am bound by there code 

I look forward to hearing about you.
