About Sara
Hello, my name is Sara and I’m a warm, compassionate, and thoughtful psychotherapeutic counsellor. I offer a supportive space for adults navigating a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. My commitment is to treat you as an individual, ensuring that I never impose a ‘one size fits all’ approach to your mental health.
In our sessions, I use an integrative approach that blends traditional counselling models with evidence-based CBT techniques. This balance allows us to investigate how your past might be influencing your present, while also focusing on the here and now. By combining these methods, we can tailor the therapy to suit your specific needs and goals.
You will find that I provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where you will be treated with the utmost respect, empathy, and understanding. My aim is to help you feel heard and understood so you can begin to make sense of your problems and start the process of healing.
Working together, we will explore the thoughts and emotions that may be affecting your quality of life, work, and relationships. It is my goal to help you build insight and develop the emotional resilience needed to move forward with greater confidence.
