I worked with Sarah for some months last year, while struggling a lot with depression, relationship issues and my self esteem. It was a really difficult time in my life, but I must say that Sarah really helped me a lot. From before I had some bad experiences with therapists, feeling that they didn’t really see me and understand what I needed help with, but with Sarah it was soooo different! From the very first session I felt like she got me, knew what I needed and that she managed to see the connection between my issues and my background. Working with her truly helped me a lot with moving out of my depression, battling the issues in my relationships and maybe most importantly, getting my self esteem back and truly loving myself. I’d absolutely recommend Sarah, and I’d most definitely trust her again if life gives me lemons again!

Sara this year has been my absolute rock and the one person I could tell my whole truth to without fear of judgement. She made me feel worthy of help and eventually brought me out of a path that was deeply destructive. I’m so grateful to finally feel free and present in life and while thankful that this is the case, I’ll actually really miss chatting with her! She is a compassionate, heartfelt reason to keep going who will bring you up in the darkest of times and guide you out of any funk. She actually cares, she actually believes in you. Highly recommend Sara :)

Matching with Sara was the best thing that ever happened to me. She helped me through the most difficult time in my life, and she guided my self healing journey with a lot of professionalism, empathy and support. She helped me start my journey to recover from a lifetime of trauma, childhood negligence, emotional abuse and relationship issues. Before I met Sara, I only knew how to survive. Sara helped me create a new path where I can thrive. I will always be grateful to have met her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist that actually cares.

Sara is a patient, empathetic and kind listener. She makes you feel understood, and validated, while gently coercing you to look at your troubles differently. Her work ethic and commitment to her patients is admirable. She takes out time, is punctual and readily available. Even despite a huge time distance between us, she found ways to make it work incredibly efficiently. It was my first time seeking therapy, and Sara walked me through the process and could understand my issues despite our cultural differences. I think Sara is a wonderful therapist, and I recommend her strongly to any young adult.

Sara had been completely amazing! Not only is she a lovely and kind person, she is a great listener and really takes the time to understand my circumstances and concerns. I feel like I am making great progress in even just a short amount of time so far. She is compassionate and non-judgmental and expertly guides me with things to consider by asking relevant, insightful questions. I am so impressed with this form of therapy and with Sara that I wish I’d had the courage to start sooner!
Written on Jun 10, 2019 after therapy with Sara for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, eating disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, and career difficulties
Sara is a compassionate non-judgmental counsellor and a great mentor. She has supported me through some very difficult times, and although I still have tough days, I now have the insight to challenge my thoughts and beliefs .
There are also homework tasks to complete which further reinforce the support and challenged my limited perceptions of events in my life. Messages check-ins are also wonderful because you always have someone there to talk to.
Please don't be put off by the cost because if you have limited finances you can still get the help you need within your budget.
I didn't want to or feel I had the option to wait a further 6 months to speak to a counsellor through the NHS. I took action and I haven't regretted
If you're struggling, please reach out and use this invaluable resource. Everyone deserves good mental health and happiness. Don't feel embarrassed or ashamed this will definitely help stir you in the right direction.

When I would have sessions with Sara, she didn't judge and always understood how I was feeling. From the beginning she would respond to me quickly and was always making sure how my day was. She has helped me realize what was best for me and encouraged me to focus on my health and my goals that I want to achieve. It wasn't long for me to get back on my feet, with her help, I was able to become more confident and reach my goals. Although I am done my counseling now, I would recommend Sara to anyone. She is a caring person and will respond right away if there are any issues. I hope whoever reads this, will become a better YOU. Stay strong and keep smiling. Thanks again Sara :)

I had a different counselor before Sara, but I wasn't able to connect with her as quickly as I did with Sara. Sara really makes a genuine effort to completely understand your problem well. There's absolutely no suggestions and interventions in the beginning, when you are venting out your concerns with her. She makes sure that she understands your emotions well before she can help you see the future positively. I had been struggling with depression for almost one year. But within a few weeks, Sara was able to help me see through my worries and guilt and gave me a positive outlook to life. She is a miracle worker! Just go ahead and sign her as your therapist, you'll be just fine!
