Is Anxiety getting in the way of your life? Does any of the following sound familiar? You are very self-critical, You usually imagine the worst case scenario, You overthink decisions, You find negative feedback very hard to handle, You replay your interactions repeatedly. If your answer is yes, you are probably are experiencing anxiety to some degree.

When dialogue becomes painful and difficult we can explore other creative styles that may suit you. You may feel lost, desperate, alone and have tried other avenues but still find your right back at the same place. At a Safe Space we can explore why you are not able to move forward and be the authentic person you can be. We can explore the blocks and barriers and old patterns that have surprised you in life. I have a strong ethos with supporting clients to explore and set their own inner boundary, therefore allowing and empowering you to find your own inner therapist.

I have experience helping people with a wide variety of issues, and specialise in helping those experiencing anxiety or stress. I work in a collaberative and compassionate way, following whatever it is you want to discuss. Research shows that the relationship with your counsellor is crucial to helping you feel better, so our relationship may be an important part of our work together. I aim to be inclusive and welcoming whatever your background, identity or experience. If you're feeling overwhelmed, or just curious about counselling, feel free to contact me to arrange an initial session.

I offer in-person, online and phone counselling in a warm, non-judgemental, and accepting atmosphere, where you can explore what’s going on, and find your way forward. At some stage in our lives we may all hit a low point or crisis. Depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, separation, bereavement, illness, self-esteem, relationship, identity, and work-related issues, or other profound life challenges can leave us feeling sad, distraught, helpless, or hopeless. Counselling can offer you confidential and safe space to talk. Free initial 30min getting-to-know appointments available.

I’m Sarah and I work in a person centred way, this means that I listen with empathy, and I will always regard you and your experiences with compassion and understanding. In this environment, which is warm and supportive, I am committed to helping clients confront and challenge any blocks they may have in their emotional life. This may be around difficult life events. Perhaps you are lacking confidence in the ability to achieve desired goals. Counselling is a safe place to explore complex emotions and to find a way out of depression, low motivation or self esteem. You just need to take the first step.

I work to enable a person to be their natural self, to discover more and more how life wants them to be, even though life may have been full of difficult circumstances which have left their mark, and sometimes even destroying a person’s ability to live effectively and in harmony with themselves.

I am an accredited therapist with 25 + years experience of working in the field of counselling and 14 years experience of working in private practice with individuals and couples. I offer a safe and confidential place where you and your concerns are provided the time and space to be voiced, heard and for you to feel understood. You may find it incredibly difficult to describe how you feel, yet have a sense that something is missing or feels just quite not right. You may be experiencing change, the emotional pain of losses and struggles of life.
