About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I’m Sarah. I’m an integrative counsellor and coach with over 8 years’ experience working in mental health, both in the NHS and the Education sector. I come from a Physics and Law background and my wide range of experience helps me understand and connect with my diverse clients. I have worked with anxiety, depression, EUPD, self-harm/ suicidal ideation, psychosis, bipolar, schizophrenia, OCD, and Neurodivergence.

I'm neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ and ethically non-monogamous. I have been a part of the kink scene for over 15 years. There's nothing you can bring that will shock me, and I'm comfortable with all aspects of BDSM and Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity. I’m a trans ally, and enjoy supporting people with gender identity issues, relationships, sexuality, sex/intimacy, abuse, taboos, trauma, addiction and Kink/BDSM.

Experience and approach:

My integrative approach means I draw from different models to meet your needs and personality. I include coaching when I think it may help you, but I will always discuss this with you first. I see everyone as an individual with their own identity — exploring your unique culture, race, gender, and life experience.

I use Psychodynamic to understand your past,

Existential to explore meaning,

Gestalt for the here and now,

Humanistic for growth and self exploration,

Transactional analysis for relational issues,

Acceptance and commitment therapy for values and actions,

person-centred, as you are important!

CBT for practical changes, as well as Coaching to provide a personalised, tailored approach. I am experienced in somatic and body work.

I am gentle when necessary, encouraging and challenging when you need me to be. I will never leave you in silence for long (unless you need me to) and will ensure therapy is a warm, safe, enjoyable and empowering place for you.

Regular supervision and continued professional development

Committed to ethical, anti-oppressive, inclusive therapeutic work

Work under the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring confidentiality, care, and professionalism
