Welcome to True Voice Counselling 

A Space To Be As You Are

Do you tend to feel different, as if you're the only one who doesn't quite fit in? Have you often felt like you had to play a part, doing what you think you 'should' without really getting a chance to recognise what you need, what you genuinely feel, or where you belong? These experiences can feel so isolating, but you're not alone.

I have faced similar challenges and helped many others with experiences like these. I know how important it is to have a supportive environment where we can express ourselves freely without judgement or pressure to act a certain way.

I focus on creating a welcoming space for you to uncover your 'true voice'—the authentic expression of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences that may have been overlooked or silenced. In this process, you build a sense of home within yourself, a space where you can safely land and find ways to persevere and thrive, no matter what challenges you might face.

Hello and welcome. I’m Sarah.

We often try to find relief from our troubles by changing what is happening around us. However, looking inward is usually the first step to lasting change. In therapy, we can practice being present with our feelings and see them as helpful guides instead of obstacles.

Therapy helps you connect with yourself more deeply. This foundational work lets you understand yourself better and empowers you to make meaningful changes in your life.

My approach to therapy emphasises collaboration and building a strong relationship. We will start from your current experiences, explore your past, while guiding you towards the future you desire. I'm here to support you and encourage you to live in a way that aligns with your values and most authentic self.

Ways We Can Work Together

Welcome Meeting

We’ll talk through any aims you may have for therapy and take some history, laying the groundwork for future sessions.

Individual Therapy

This is a time where you can take charge of our direction, with me as a collaborative guide to help you remember, 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.

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.”
