A Space Where You Can Be As You Are
Holistic, Collaborative, and Personalised Online Therapy for Individuals and Couples
Have you felt the pressure to fit in, play a role, and get it 'right' by doing what you think you 'should' do, to the point where you haven't had much of a chance to get in touch with who you are, what you value and need, and where you belong?
Through my own journey of struggling to find my place in the world and supporting others in their quest for belonging, I've come to understand the importance of finding someone who truly gets us. I know how crucial it is to have support that fits us rather than having to fit into someone else's mould.
I am here to guide and be alongside you through a process of self-exploration uniquely suited to you. Together, we can develop your inner knowing and your 'true voice'—the genuine expression of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences — which can serve to bring you home to yourself and your sense of belonging as a whole person.
Dr Sarah Quinley (she/her)
Hello and welcome. I am a registered BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) member, a COSCA (Counselling and Psychotherapy Scotland) qualified Doctor of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Relationships Scotland certified Couples Counsellor. 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. As your therapist, 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 you experience life.
If you're here, then something must be hard. The pain you're feeling may be telling you that you'll always feel like this, that it's hopeless. When we can do little to change what's happening, it's more tempting to stop trying. But you've shown great courage by taking a significant step and coming here. You don't have to take these next steps alone. We can find a way through whatever it is together. However sad, frustrated, unsure, anxious, or confused you've felt on your way to getting here, you don't need to be any different than you are to come to therapy. You are welcome as you are.
My Approach
The way I work is collaborative, personalised, and holistic. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the key to change, and it's essential that we build a relationship based on collaboration and trust. I work flexibly, tailoring the therapy to reflect your needs as they evolve. We can explore holistically, considering the emotional, psychological, physical, mental, spiritual, and socio-cultural aspects in your past and present concerns, hopes for the future, emotional experiences, and relational patterns. I will always listen and respond to you empathically, supportively, and honestly, empowering you to take responsibility for your therapy journey.
