Hi, my name is Sarah. My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, which is a relational, non-pathologising, collaborative and liberatory approach to healing. We are each 'storied' uniquely, and exist within intersections of identity, culture and systemic factors that shape how we interface life and make meaning of our experiences. Through a safe and trusted therapeutic relationship, we can begin to make these impacts visible, witnessed and workable. In session, I use dialogue, movement, creative tools and somatic enquiry to support you in fostering greater awareness, wholeness and authenticity.
Life often finds a way to meet us with complexity, grief and uncertainty. Whether you are bringing past or present struggles, I offer compassionate support and challenge, where needed, with the intention that it may offer you something restorative and new to integrate into your relationships with yourself and others.
It takes tremendous courage to show up to the process of healing and change. It can be overwhelming, scary and frankly, pretty weird at times! It is a great privilege to witness and support those who decide to work with me. I maintain a stance of dignity and respect in this process.
