I’ve been having therapy with Sarah for a few months now and I look forward to it every week. The sense of relief I feel and the weight that gets taken off after a session is invaluable. She is kind and empathetic, it feels like she really cares. She’s supportive and great with recommending external resources and signposting with support. I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough.

More about Sarah
- 21 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a qualified and experienced UK therapist with over 21 years of professional experience across mental health, health and social care settings.
I am warm, friendly and approachable and work with people from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds, providing a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
I support clients with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression and low mood, trauma, different forms of abuse, anger, phobias, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship and family difficulties, workplace stress and discrimination, boundaries, and the impact of narcissistic behaviours and relationship dynamics.
My approach is person-centred, integrative and trauma-informed, which means I tailor therapy to you rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Together, we can explore what is happening in your life now, understand the experiences and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and identify what needs to change.
My approach is compassionate but purposeful. Therapy with me is not only about having a space to talk and feel heard; it is also about doing the work. We will work collaboratively to build insight, develop healthier ways of coping, strengthen confidence and create meaningful, sustainable change.
Whatever has brought you to therapy, you do not have to navigate it alone. I would be happy to work alongside you, supporting you to make positive changes and move forward with greater confidence.
I look forward to meeting and working with 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.
