More about Saarah

Hi, my name is Saarah and I'm a MBACP registered integrative counsellor. I aim to provide a safe space for you to share your experiences, feelings and thoughts.

My main modality is person-centred, focusing on developing a supportive and honest relationship. I also work with aspects of the cognitive, psychodynamic, and solution-focused approaches. Together we can explore what is troubling you and develop your self-awareness by increasing your understanding and helping you recognise your strengths.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). My previous experience includes working with clients from a range of backgrounds and with issues, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, self-esteem, stress, and more.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
