More about Sarah
- 3 years' experience

- BACP
I am a qualified therapist in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with coping with life changes.
I firmly believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
I am a down to earth, warm and calm person, and my clients tell me they feel safe with me. I often work with nervous system regulation - paying close attention to how your body feels can help you spot early signs when things start to feel off. This allows you to step in and intervene before things get too overwhelming.
I am interested in the complex challenges that can occur at transitions in our lives, such as: marriage and relationships, parenthood, career & redundancy, divorce, bereavement, relocation, retirement. As we embark on significant changes in life, prioritising our mental health becomes essential.
Change might bring anxiety, confusion and uncertainty, or excitement and anticipation - all of which are normal. However, it may also generate difficult issues such as regret, money worries or fear of failure - which might feel uncomfortable, or even taboo, to share with friends and loved ones. I believe that by unpacking your underlying beliefs and behaviours in therapy, you can gain clarity and perspective, improve your wellbeing and strengthen your relationships.
By recognising how change affects our mental health, we can start developing the tools and strategies needed to handle life's transitions more smoothly and with greater resilience

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.
