Welcome to True Voice Counselling.

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/her), a qualified counsellor with a doctorate in counselling and psychotherapy, and a certified couples counsellor. I offer online therapy for individuals and couples, focusing on curiosity, compassion, and empowering you to find your voice. My special focus is supporting people living abroad, helping them navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of rebuilding their lives in a new country.

Everyone’s story matters, and I believe yours deserves to be heard with kindness and respect. As your collaborative guide, I aim to balance deep understanding with practical support, tailoring everything we do to your specific needs. Using an evidence-based approach, I’m here to help you feel supported, understood, and better equipped to move toward whatever you’re seeking from therapy.

Life can throw a lot at us—big challenges, changes, and surprises—and it makes sense to need some support along the way. Everyone’s struggles are different, and sometimes they can feel really overwhelming or hard to go through alone. Having a space where you can take time to explore and make sense of what you’re experiencing can make a big difference. I’m here to warmly welcome all the emotions and experiences you bring with you.

Together, we’ll look at what’s happened in your life and the stories you tell yourself about those events. This can help uncover patterns that keep showing up—things that shape how you see the world and relate to others. As we explore, we might find a new path that feels lighter, more meaningful, and more in tune with who you truly are. My aim is to help you find clarity in the chaos, trust your own process, and build new insights, coping skills, and self-understanding so you feel more confident and resilient moving forward.

My therapy style is collaborative, exploratory, and personalised. In our work together, you will not just be a client—you will be a valued partner. Your thoughts, feelings, and insights will guide our focus, making each session relevant and meaningful. I believe that the strength of the relationship between therapist and client is the most important factor in healing and change. That’s why I focus on building trust, connection, and genuine understanding—because a strong relationship creates the safest space for growth.

During our time together, I may invite grounding exercises, body awareness techniques, explore archetypal themes, or offer psychoeducation. We might read poetry, share songs, or discuss cultural influences shaping your life. These methods are designed to deepen your connection with yourself and open new perspectives. Most importantly, our relationship itself becomes a foundation for insight and change—because when you feel truly understood and connected, you’re more able to develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

We will then build on these insights with practical strategies, helping you cultivate stronger, more authentic relationships and more compassionate self-understanding.

Ways We Can Work Together

Counselling for People Living Abroad

Our sessions will focus specifically on the challenges of moving to a new country and adjusting to life abroad. My goal is to support you in becoming more resilient, connected, and empowered as you settle into this new chapter.

Individual Therapy

This is a time where you can take charge of our direction, with me as a collaborative guide to help you explore and practice new ways of being.

Relationship Therapy

We can identify obstacles hindering your vision for the relationship and develop better communication pathways that foster greater intimacy, connection, and clarity.

If you want to know more, please don’t hesitate to reach out so we can discuss what it might be like to work together. We can have individual sessions focused solely on you, or explore your dynamic with your partner in relationship therapy. I’m here to answer any questions you may have and to schedule an initial chat to discuss your goals and expectations.

I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your way to achieving whatever you are seeking from therapy.

Testimonials

  • “My experience was that you are an incredibly warm, compassionate, human and humane therapist. I felt seen and heard in a way that I rarely have in my life, and I’ve certainly never felt seen and heard so consistently, week in week out. I feel sure that I will return to the things we talked about and explored, and that they’ll unfold in me for many years to come. Your focus on self-compassion and somatic work is what made me choose you as my therapist. Your attention, for example, to changes you observed in my facial expressions, and whether I was connected to myself emotionally when I was saying something, was so important. Feeling attuned to you (taking relaxing breaths at the same time as one another, eye contact) was crucial in allowing me to experience that the qualities I initially only admired in you were in me also, and indeed can be found in all humans. I’ve connected with myself like never before and have felt (rather than just intellectually understood) that there is nothing wrong or broken about me. My creative expression has become more clear, profound, communicative, and more authentically mine. It is not an exaggeration to say my experience was life-changing.”

  • “I have only wonderful things to say about my experience. Thank you for consistently holding such a safe, warm and nurturing space for me. More than any other therapist I have worked with, you have an amazing quality that makes the weekly space a perfect sanctuary for whatever is needed. Our sessions always felt so well-paced. I appreciate that you took such care at the beginning and toward the end of sessions to check in with my energy/feeling and give me a chance to reflect on what was needed. It always felt like you were so present for me, and that you dedicated time between sessions to ideas and reflections for us to cover next time. This made me feel so incredibly valued and inspired me to keep showing up for myself, even on harder days. Everything always magically felt like the perfect balance, tone, challenge and surrender. The magic is you!! Thanks so much Sarah.”

  • “You could not write enough good things about Sarah if you tried.  I have been through the process of finding a therapist several times, and I don’t think I’ll ever meet another quite like Sarah.  Coming to therapy every week felt warm and inviting, and I felt as if I was able to confront challenges in my life that I couldn’t have otherwise tackled.  Sarah taught me so much, and I can confidently say that I would not be where I am today without her.  She will always have a profound space in my heart, and I will forever cherish the opportunity to work with her.”
