Or is drink or drugs causing problems in your life?
50-minute sessions are confidential, non-judgemental, and paced around you. I won’t tell you what to do. What I will do is help you understand and make sense of what’s going on underneath - the feelings, patterns, the things that keep pulling you back, so you can start to bring about change (emotional and physical) and move forward with your life.

A few of these include trauma, difficult relationships, addictions, family issues, anxiety, depression and abuse (see below for more).
As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I believe that today's problems can be rooted in lived experiences or past traumas. With careful excavation, they can be overcome when acknowledged in a confidential and safe environment and by building the therapeutic relationship within the room between you and I.

I enjoy helping people who have reached a point in their life when they're feeling stuck and unable to change the way they feel, behave or react to other people. I'm good at helping people to understand themselves better and to change the way they relate to themselves and other people. I work with a very broad range of problems from persistent anxiety and depression to severe trauma and personality disturbance. I offer appointments to clients living locally to me in West Yorkshire, across the U.K., and in a range of countries across the world.

I work collaboratively with clients to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for exploring difficult emotions at your own pace. My approach is mostly person-centred, helping you feel safe and empowered to find your own solutions. I integrate other methods to meet your unique needs and have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. As a queer-friendly therapist, I strive to provide an inclusive and supportive space, welcoming diverse identities. I also aim to create an environment free from oppression and discrimination.

I have over 18 years experience working as a counsellor and have experience of working with clients with eating disorders, couples, OCD, anxiety, grief, abuse, loss, post-traumatic stress, trauma, depression, stress, addictions, gambling, autism, ADHD, sexuality, self-esteem, sexual identity, parenting issues, self-harm, anger issues, co-dependency
Hi, I'm Sarah. I have over 18 years experience as a counsellor. We all have times when we find it hard to cope. Counselling can help you understand why you think, feel and act like you do. It can help you develop positive strategies to get what you want out of life. How we think, feel and behave is part of being human. Problems can arise when we get 'stuck' in negative thought patterns; when our feelings become overwhelming; when our behaviour is self-destructive and doesn't result in us getting what we need; when we worry about the future, dwell on the past and find it hard to live in the present.

I think sometimes we just reach that place in life when we say 'enough is enough'. For some it can mean it is time to stop and face something, and to someone else it can mean it is maybe time to 'let it go'. There's no end to the potential meanings for reaching 'that point'. i think we've all been there at some stage or another. Does this sound familiar ? That's okay, i totally understand where you're coming from. What is important is acknowledging that you have had the energy and motivation to seek someone to support you through this - it takes courage and strength to take this step. Well done!
