I prefer to focus on treatment, not just talk. I have a genuine passion for working with individuals from all backgrounds who are keen to make changes in their life, or to better manage or understand their mental health. I have a kind but firm approach, and I am comfortable with colourful (real) language and appropriate humour in our appointments.

Making changes to patterns of behaviour can become easier when we learn why we behave the way we do. I support my clients to find their own best ways to overcome the hard times and celebrate the better times. I enjoy working with people who are ready to understand, grow and learn about who they are - where they've come from and where they are going. If you feel although you are ready to explore - get in touch!

I have a passion for supporting men and young men in the ever changing world we now live in. The rules are changing rapidly and sometimes it is difficult to know how to make sense of it all and yet be true to ourselves. Learning how to stay safe in a world of family and interpersonal violence, substance use, grief and loss and so many other stresses, when we feel isolated and alone, is challenging and this is where I can help. I support couples and individuals too.

My clients are at a point in their lives where they know they want to improve things for themselves and for their family/loved ones. They may not know where to start, they may feel they can't place a finger on exactly what is happening, but they know they want to be a better version of themselves. They want more out of life and although they may feel frustrated, they are eager to put in the work and learn skills that will bring about change in themselves that makes them the better version they envision.

This change is not just a Biblical formula but God's work in us, to make us become the person He created us to be. It is a privledge to walk with you through this

Hi, I'm Sara, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a special interest in trauma and PTSD. Trauma and PTSD can be complex with many layers. It impacts the body, brain, relationships sense of safety and trust in ourselves and the world around us. When we have experienced trauma or been exposed to traumatic events we tend to push the memories or images out of our mind, trying to get on with life as if nothing has happened. This takes a huge amount of energy to keep getting on with everyday life.

What would you like to change? Is there something you feel is holding you back but you just can't figure out what or why? Sometimes you might just want someone to talk to that isn't a friend or family member to give you an independent insight to a problem. Whatever you are looking for, I can help you reframe what isn't working and give you a different perspective. I've helped many people see their lives more clearly and be the person they want to be. Regularly I get feedback from my clients that they feel lighter just by talking to me.

I work with individuals and couples who are trying to overcome psychological barriers or process confusing emotions. These could be related to mental health, such as chronic anxiety, depression, conflict, intrusive thoughts or disturbing dreams. They could also be related to more general goals for personal growth and self-development. In the case of couples, reasons for starting therapy may include issues with communication or trust, or coping with significant life events.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or postcode into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
