Online Therapy for

Individuals and Couples

I am currently offering therapy to individuals and couples online. For many people, online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. Meeting virtually may make it easier to talk about your difficulties and may also be a more convenient and less expensive option than travelling to meet in person. One of the drawbacks of online therapy is that we have a limited view of each other. Body language and other nonverbal cues are important in how we communicate as human beings. However, from my experience of receiving online therapy and offering online therapy to clients, I’ve seen firsthand how online therapy can help people gain new insights and support them in making profound changes in their lives. If you’re unsure about online therapy, we can set up a trial session so you can give it a try. Sessions are conducted on Zoom, a secure platform for our sessions.

“I have come to believe that by and large the human family all has the same secrets, which are both very telling and very important to tell. They are telling in the sense that they tell what is perhaps the central paradox of our condition—that what we hunger for perhaps more than anything else is to be known in our full humanness, and yet that is often just what we also fear more than anything else. It is important to tell at least from time to time the secret of who we truly and fully are—even if we tell it only to ourselves—because otherwise we run the risk of losing track of who we truly and fully are and little by little come to accept instead the highly edited version which we put forth in hope that the world will find it more acceptable than the real thing. It is important to tell our secrets too because it makes it easier that way to see where we have been in our lives and where we are going. It also makes it easier for other people to tell us a secret or two of their own, and exchanges like that have a lot to do with what being a family is all about and what being human is all about.”

 Individual Therapy

It’s easy to go through life without pausing to take stock of what it’s been like for us so that we can understand why we experience things the way we do. Therapy allows you to get to know yourself with the support of someone who doesn’t judge or tell you to feel differently. Whatever you are seeking from therapy, developing an understanding of yourself can help you clarify your needs, values, and wants in life and respond to difficulties in ways that align with those, opening up more possibilities and authentic ways of being in the world.

  • “Therapy with Sarah was more healing for me than I ever thought therapy could be. Sarah was the perfect mix between a skilled therapist and an understanding human. She helped me to identify my source of trouble, recognise unhealthy patterns and coping mechanisms, make connections between these current behaviours and my past and validated my trauma. Beyond this she helped me to translate these unhealthy patterns and coping mechanisms into healthy ones and taught me how I could get my needs met in alternative ways. She taught me how to change my self-critical inner voice into a self-compassionate one and to tune into it. She also introduced art and abstract objects into the session which helped in sparking my creativity and thereon using writing and art as a means of coping and expressing my emotions. Sarah viewed my issues as unique to me and gave me specific advice on specific issues rather than a generic and clichéd approach. Working with Sarah I felt I could open and honest about my emotions without being judged. Sarah always listened to me fully and remembered small details, as well as asking challenging questions that helped me think and grow.”

  • “Your support and help over the last few months has been incredible. I found our sessions together so helpful. During our sessions, is the calmest I had felt in a long time as I finally felt that someone was listening to me. You helped me uncover parts of myself that I had forgotten and situations that I had not yet processed. You were really in tune with my moods even though it was online and you always knew when to ask more questions and move me along or when to let me sit with the emotions as a lot of big stuff came up! The mapping work that you did with me was hugely helpful. I had never done anything like that before and it was so helpful to see it written out in black and white. Very interesting!! I would highly recommend for anyone to work with you. Your compassion and understanding was unbelievable. It was so reassuring to finally feel heard. That level of support allowed me to work through some big stuff and I continue to work on it now our sessions have ended. Thank you a thousand times Sarah, I really mean that!”

  • From our very first session, I knew you were the right fit for me as a counsellor. You create such a warm, compassionate atmosphere, where I have always felt safe to fully express myself. For the first time, I felt truly seen and heard by someone, which has made the world of difference to how I go about my everyday life now. I’ve always felt a bit misunderstood by those around me, so for you to help me on this journey of empowering myself again and realising that it’s OK if my path is slightly different from others, has been so affirming. To have a space to connect to myself in every week with you for the past year has felt amazing. I feel like I’ve come home to myself again, and I’ll be forever grateful. Thank you again, Sarah. Everything we’ve explored and discussed will stick with me and continue to guide me on my journey.

  • “I am so touched and grateful for your ability to receive and respond to the issues I was dealing with and the things that came up for me during our sessions. I felt deeply understood and accepted. That you saw straight into the heart of who I am, unshrouded by the trauma that had become part of my being. I am so proud of the work I have done and honoured to have had you walk beside me. In you, I feel I have found a therapist who I can turn to whenever I need the support of someone I can trust. Someone who has the knowledge to navigate the territories of the mind in a way that is true to me. Thank you so much.”

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is beneficial for any relationship. I work with you and your partner in a balanced way, helping you to understand each others’ views, values, needs, strengths, and weaknesses so that you can make valuable changes towards achieving whatever it is that you’re seeking, whether that’s to find ways to come closer together or to separate or divorce.
