My name is Sarah and I’m a Person-Centred (Integrative) Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Life Coach. I offer both long and short-term counselling online but also more alternative therapies when it feels helpful to do so. These include Breathwork, Meditation, Mindfulness and Yoga (including Children’s Yoga) all of which are tailored to you to fit your needs. Although I specialise in Trauma, including childhood trauma, I offer a service to all who feel the need for support and guidance.
My background is working in education where I specialise in pastoral work and safeguarding. Hence, I am well aware of how to work well with the individual who presents in a stressed, unhappy and upset manner. Clients in recent work have also included survivors of sexual abuse and rape, childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, loss, and grief.
A key to my success with clients is to meet each person and their situation without judgement, pre-conceptions and remoteness. And to meet in a way that clients feel safe. This relationship is key to success as people heal quicker in both mind and body when they feel connected, confident and at ease with their counsellor.
As your counsellor I will listen to you closely and with compassion. I want to hear and understand both your spoken and non-spoken feelings, thoughts and emotions. I will then be able to see more clearly the world from your perspective and thereby prompt insights that will help us explore the issue(s) you wish to work through. I will also suggest practical coping strategies to help you in your day to day life. We will work through this at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
