Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in Liverpool
I am a very experienced and professional therapist with over twelve thousand client contact hours behind me in individual, couples and group work. I feel my experience coupled with my life experiences makes me the person and the therapist I am today. My training in the person-centred approach (three years) and in Transactional Analysis (seven years) together with continuing professional and personal development and supervision give me a strong theoretical and experiential focus to bring to my client work. I work very much in a relational way (research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is key to positive therapy outcomes)

Hi, I’m Sara Douglas, an integrative counsellor.
I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by life, whether it’s everyday stress, burnout, postnatal depression or anxiety, trauma, or major life transitions, and who are looking for support, clarity, and a way forward. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in helping you understand yourself more deeply so that you can feel calmer, more confident, and more connected in everyday life. I believe therapy is a space to be truly heard without judgement, a place where we can explore what’s beneath the surface and find new ways forward.

Having practised as a therapist for twenty five years I have had the privilege to work with many creative, resilient, courageous and resourceful people. However, very few felt that way when they first came for therapy. Life can be challenging and we all struggle at times to cope with problems and stressful situations. Different people obviously find different things difficult but what everyone shares are the natural responses of feeling distressed, confused, anxious and lost. Counselling can help you to express your feelings, work through anxiety and confusion and develop positive responses to the challenges you are facing.

I am passionate about trauma informed practice: making every effort to understand the impact of people’s lived experiences on their daily lives. My approach is based on psychological formulation, to make sense of what a person is experiencing, and then using a range of integrated approaches to help people to make changes. I care about empowering individuals to live the lives they want to live, and take a very human and empathic approach to working with people's distress.

My clients are adults, young people and children carrying something they haven't been able to put down — anxiety that won't quieten, grief that hasn't had space, trauma that still shapes the present, or simply a feeling that something needs to change. They come with depression, low mood, confidence issues, anger, addiction, pregnancy and infant loss, and the particular pressures men face but rarely talk about. They come from Anfield, Kirkdale, Everton, Bootle, Liverpool and across the UK online. Many have never spoken to a counsellor before. Some don't know exactly what's wrong — only that they're not okay. That's enough to start.

I know anxiety inside out, whether its OCD, intrusive thoughts, procrastination, avoidance, self-criticism
I see clients in my Liverpool city centre office and online.
Human minds don’t fit a single template and effective therapy shouldn’t either. We start with you in mind, what’s going on for you, how you process thoughts, feelings, emotions and environments and what outcomes you’d like to see.
I’m a specialist in neurodiversity. I’ve learnt and keep learning from leading edge research to develop neuro affirming therapies that are effective.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, and it’s not always easy to carry everything on your own. Counselling gives you a safe and gentle space where you can let some of that weight down. This is your time — a place where you can talk openly, be truly heard, and know that you won’t be judged.
I believe each of us is unique. We all experience challenges differently, and there isn’t one “right way” to cope. That’s why I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach — I work with you, at your pace, in a way that feels supportive and comfortable for you.

Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly what we are going through. We might feel bad or find something distressing but struggle to fully make sense of it. Together we can work through key areas you find challenging to reach a shared understanding of how these problems developed and why they persist despite your efforts to overcome them.
Any form of therapy should ask what you want to achieve from your sessions. We can establish the main things you would like to see change in your life and focus our sessions on helping you get there.
