A Space Where You Can Be As You Are
Holistic, Collaborative, and Personalised Therapy for Individuals and Couples
Have you had to find ways to fit in, play a role, and get it ‘right’ by doing what you think you ‘should’ do that you haven’t had much of a chance to get your sense of who you are, what you value and need, and where you belong?
Through my own experience with struggling to find my place in the world, as well as through supporting others in their quest for belonging, I know the importance (and often the necessity) of finding someone who can understand what it’s like for us and who offers support that fits us rather than us having to fit them.
I aim to work with you in a way that suits you and to connect you with your ‘true voice’ - the naturally healing, wise, and expansive awareness in you that can guide you home to yourself and to who you are as a whole person in your own right.
Hello and welcome.
I’m Sarah. I am a COSCA-qualified Doctor of Counselling and Psychotherapy and a certified Couples Counsellor. I have nearly a decade of experience working therapeutically with individuals and couples with a wide range of issues. When we meet, you can talk openly and without judgment about the issues that are important to you. I’ll help you develop the tools, clarity, and understanding you need to grow and heal while honouring the humanness in what you’re going through and the unique way that you experience life.
My Mission
My mission is to guide people home to themselves, reconnecting them with where they come from and who they’ve been so they can make more room for who they are now. I support people in remembering that, even as they stand on their own, they aren’t alone and are worthy of belonging just as they are.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is humanistic, holistic, relational, collaborative, and personalised to your needs and context.
My approach is humanistic. Rather than direct your healing process and 'treat' your symptoms, I explore your experience as a unique individual. I guide you from your frame of reference instead of what I think is best in general. My focus is to help you develop greater trust and reliance on your own perspective, strengths, and inner wisdom, returning you to balance and an empowered state of being.
My work is holistic, a type of psychotherapy that considers you as a whole person, including your mind, body, spirit, emotions, and culture. For me, there is no 'bad' part of you; each part serves (or has served) you in some vital way. We can meet each aspect of you with compassion, developing insight into their role in your life and valuing them as an essential part of your story and making you who you are.
I emphasise relational awareness in my practice. Because we bring ourselves into relationships, it can be helpful to understand our patterns, behaviours, and motivations, why we needed them and pattern new, healthier ways of being in our relationships with ourselves and others.
The therapy I offer is also collaborative and personalised; the way I work with you will be shaped by you and tailored to you. We have regular reviews to discuss how the work is going and adjust the therapy to your changing needs.
How can I support you?
You have already taken the significant step of reaching out for help and that is so brave. You don’t have to continue getting on with it all on your own. I encourage you to continue your journey and find a therapist who you can connect with and trust.
