I have availability. I work Monday to Friday daytime and evenings. I offer weekly and bi-weekly sessions. I also offer long-term and short-term therapy and therapeutic coaching leaving you to decide how long you would like. 

Hello I’m Sarah Guthrie, a trauma-informed counsellor and therapeutic coach working with the whole person, offering a space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating challenges, going through life transitions, managing anxiety, working through past experiences, or seeking more authenticity and purpose, we will explore together at your pace—with compassion and curiosity.

My approach is relational, which means our relationship is central to our work together. This is a space where you don’t need to mask or hide any part of yourself. You can bring what you wish, however difficult that may be. Every person is unique, and I incorporate a range of approaches to suit each individual. If you wish, creative and embodiment practices can be woven into our sessions. This can be through art, collage, poetry, meditation, movement, visualisations, rituals, ancestral, inner child, and parts work.

Therapeutic coaching can help you work towards creating positive changes. It can be particularly beneficial to those with ADHD, activating the dopamine reward system to help support motivation.

I’ve always been inspired by spirituality and see it as a deeply personal journey unique to each individual. Regardless of your beliefs, I love helping people find meaning—whether spiritual, religious, or agnostic.

I offer therapy and therapeutic coaching both in-person in Bristol and online throughout the UK. 

I have experience of counselling at the Swan Project in Bristol where I worked with people dealing with complex trauma, mental health issues and addiction, in addition to this, I have counselled students at Durham University, where I gained a wide range of experience and developed as a therapist. 

I am part of a network of Bristol-based neurodiverse therapists. Attention Allies consists of experienced and qualified therapists who offer online, in room, outdoor and blended counselling, psychotherapy and coaching to people who are diagnosed with or identify as having ADHD as well as other forms of neurodiversity, including Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia etc. You can find us at: https://attention-allies.org/

I am passionate about equality and diversity and believe in creating an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome. I have experience of counselling a wide range of individuals with a number of issues and from different backgrounds. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.

Both counselling and coaching are a transformative process that can involve looking within and digging deep, and that takes courage. With this in mind, it is important that you find the right counsellor. It may be me, or it may be someone else. If it is me, you will be met with warmth and friendliness from the outset.

60 minute session - £60

90 minute coaching session - £80

Concessionary rate - £45

I also offer walk and talk therapy between April and October

Please visit my website for further information about me and my specialisms. 

I offer a free consultation for 30 minutes to discuss whether I am a suitable counsellor for you, and if so, how we can work together. 

The first session may involve getting to know each other. I won't take you anywhere you are not willing to go. However, I am not a passive therapist and will collaborate with you to find a way forward. 

Healing from trauma is a journey, and it requires both patience and self-compassion and I will work with you to build a relationship of trust and safety.
