I am a qualified psychotherapist with an MSc in Psychotherapy from Warwick University. I am passionate about working with trauma, & welcome survivors of sexual abuse, rape, and domestic abuse.

My passion is to help children of all ages who may feel anxious; emotionally dysregulated; and mentally and physically exhausted feel at ease again in their bodies, their mind, their surroundings and their relationships. Alongside this, I support worried parents by empowering them to change the dynamics of their family in order to redress the balance and bring about harmony once again. It is crucial as a practitioner to view your family construct individually, to form a relationship with your family members and to create a bespoke package of treatment that you all feel comfortable with.

Play is the child’s nature medium of self-expression – It is essential for development. In the play therapy sessions, the child has opportunity to ‘play out’ their feelings and problems. The intervention has a significant impact on how children view themselves and their future success as students, members of the community, family members, and human beings. Children sometimes experience difficulties and present challenging behaviours. I may contribute to their soul’s playfulness and lightness through the play. Therapeutic intervention plan using non-directive and Integrative Holistic Play Therapy.

Most of my work has been in short-term CBT/ACT with the NHS and insurance companies helping adults with stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-esteem, and PTSD. My main focus for CPD lately has been working with trauma and ASD. However, I only take cases of simple PTSD/trauma such as one-off traumas when working online. I prefer to help clients with complex, multiple, and/or long-term traumas in-person and long-term. In my 20+ years of working as a psychotherapist, I have also helped people with relational difficulties. I also provide supervision from an integrative perspective.

I’m Sarah. I’m a registered Integrative Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist. I integrate Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy to help with issues including Anxiety, Depression, Relationship problems, Low Self-esteem, Overwhelming emotions, Compulsive Disorders, Eating disorders, Panic attacks, Phobias, Addictive behaviours and more. Taking a healing-oriented approach means that therapy we do together targets symptoms and neurological pathways in the brain by focusing on the core emotions, body sensations and nervous system responses that are connected to them.

Psychotherapy offers a unique experience. We will begin with a consultation phase which will give you an opportunity to find out about this type of therapy that I offer and what it would be like working with me. I will be getting to know and understand better what brings you to therapy now. This initial process will help us with considering the best way forward for you. Ideally we will meet a couple of times, considering the past, current circumstances, and at times the in-the-room experience. I will provide you with information about my therapeutic approach during this initial process. I don’t charge for the first appointment.
