About me and my therapy practice

Hi my name is Sarah, and I thank you for considering whether I might be a good fit for you.

For 25 years it has been my privilege that people have trusted me to help with their deepest hurts and biggest challenges.

I offer sessions on a short to long term contract, which we will agree initially then review as we go.

Together we will set an agenda and a goal to work towards.

I will listen, support and guide, holding hope for your positive outcome, until you're able to do that for yourself.

Please email or call to talk challenges.

Practice description

In 1999 I completed a 4 year psychotherapy course in Transactional Analysis and then took a further two years training in humanistic approaches. Since then I have also qualified as a trauma risk practitioner within a Police Force and completed a degree in reflective therapeutic practice. I have also worked in the intensive environment of NHS talking therapies (formerly known as IAPT).

I have worked with adults in the blue light sector (including those in high profile senior roles) and within a Cat B male prison, and latterly NHS Talking Therapies.

Alongside my private practice I have held senior leadership positions in all those sectors, including roles to transform services, offering personal and professional growth opportunities for senior staff.

It has been my pleasure to provide training in Transactional analysis and trauma management consultancy to independent fostering organisations, and to have served as a Foster Parent.

There is a whole spectrum of different gender and sexual expressions and in my therapy and counselling services I offer a safe and confidential place to those who are seeking to understand and be understood.

My collective experience informs me that for some clients racial, cultural, and other diversity factors may be central to the work, but for others these experiences may be peripheral or less relevant or central to the work in therapy.

My focus will be on your individual personality, developed psychologically, socially, and culturally through human relationships and experiences.

You may suffer from anxiety or depression; recovering from trauma or dealing with grief; trying to understand the impact of childhood events that are still impacting your day to day living. Make a positive move for yourself and invest in a therapeutic relationship that can help alleviate your symptoms and give you hope for positive change.


My first session

Our first session will be an assessment of whether we are a good fit. Do I have the skills and experience to help you? Do you feel comfortable with me to proceed & want to commit to the process of therapy. If after 20 minutes it is clear we are not going to proceed together I will not charge for this time - otherwise the assessment will take 50 minutes & I will charge my sessional rate.
