A saying that has helped me immensely on my journey through counselling is "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." This is because I may not be able to influence everything that happens in life, however, I have a choice in my beliefs and my reaction to a situation.
I accessed counselling from a young age and can honestly say it was a life changing experience for me. I knew then, that counselling was what I was destined to do. I am very passionate about counselling and the benefits it can have.
I may not have a magic wand, but I do have a safe space, a non judgemental approach and an empathetic viewpoint and truly want the best outcomes for all my clients. In my counselling sessions I work integratively, meaning I work with issues around the past, present and future, in a way that works best for the client.
I specialise in Abuse, ADHD, Anger. Anxiety, Bereavement. Depression. Gender Identity, LGBTQIA+, Phobias, Self-esteem, Self harm, Stress, Suicidal thoughts and Trauma. However, my work is not limited to the above list and if you have any question please contact me.
I am registered member of the British association for Counselling and psychotherapy, and this means I agree to adhere to their Ethical Framework.

Sarah is amazing, she is so kind and caring and very thoughtful. She has helped me more than she knows and I feel a lot stronger already just speaking with her. I really recommend her.

Sarah is absolutely fantastic. She is all I was hoping for in a therapist and more. She listens carefully and remembers all the details of what I have told her. She is highly intelligent and offers me extremely helpful insights and advice. I couldn’t be happier that she is helping me through this difficult time in my life.

Sarah has been kind, approachable, understanding, friendly and confidence building. I've only had two sessions so far, but both have been a great help to keep me above water.
