Counselling in Potters Bar

A trusting relationship is crucial to successful therapy so I always endeavor to provide a welcoming caring, confidential, and, non-judgemental space to express and explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences without the worry of how others may feel or react. I believe you are your own expert and will encourage you to reflect and find your own answers. Together we will work to find the root of your challenges by exploring repeating patterns in your life, your beliefs, emotional attachments, and anything that may have stopped you from being your best self and living a life of satisfaction and contentment.

Regardless of your reasons for seeking counselling, your therapeutic journey is unique to you. I provide a safe, non judgemental space where we can explore any difficulties you are having in your life right now. We will also look back into your past, to try to understand patterns of behaviour that might be impacting your current life.   By exploring feelings and experiences and building self-awareness, we will work together to move towards a positive change for your future. My approach to counselling is psychodynamic which makes links from past experiences to present ways of feeling and relating to oneself and others.

My clients have a range of psychological and somatic difficulties. Some of these issues include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), Trauma, Tinnitus, Trauma Associated Tinnitus, Addiction, Anxiety, Depression and Stress. I support my clients through a psychotherapeutic process to hep them with their difficulties. This might include support through a difficult period of their lives, specific techniques or treatments to enable them to recover, or to help them understand themselves better and find meaning in their lives.

As your counsellor, I will offer you a safe, confidential space for you to be heard with empathy and respect. Current problems may stir up buried feelings from your past which I will help you to explore and understand. Our open-ended work will allow you to work through and make sense of your difficulties by becoming aware of your defences and reasons

I am Dr Sarah Butler, a Counselling Psychologist offering support online and based in the UK. As a Psychologist I am qualified to work with different problems and difficulties including adult ADHD assessment, depression, anxiety and trauma. My work is enhanced by years of study into the theory and evidence of different therapeutic approaches, and the study of clients' experiences of therapy. This means I can provide a non-judgmental and confidential space where you can explore your feelings but also learn about the causes of your problems, what keeps them going, how you can make changes. I am also a Flow for depression consultant.

When you accept yourself for who you are, you are able to greatly enhance your life. Let me support you through this process to be heard. I work with children, adolescents and adults with anxiety, relationship issues, depression, panic disorders, anger issues, bereavement and loss, and many other issues. Let's talk, I provide the space and safety for you to explore anything that might be challenging you. I am emphatic, insightful and non-judgemental. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship with you to enable you to explore thoughts and emotions which can promote personal growth.

Sometimes coping with life can become problematic because situations may lead us along a difficult pathway. We may try to understand our own behaviours, thoughts and emotions and those of others, but coping may not be easy. I regard each person as an individual in their own right, so my practice aims to suit diverse clients' needs. I bring together a variety of techniques to support people of all ages with a range of issues.

Dealing with difficult emotions can feel overwhelming and scary. Are you feeling anxious or stressed, or feel like you are trapped in a situation that you see no way out from? Whether it's your relationships, feelings about yourself or the world around you, seeking counselling can be the first steps to empowering yourself to make positive changes in your life. With the world feeling so precarious right now, and our lives being turned upside down, it can feel like the control you once had has now been taken away. Traumatic, upsetting experiences can all lead to adverse mental health.

Clients are looking to unpick areas of their lives that have proved too difficult for them to tackle alone. It may be more tangible life events: a bereavement, the end of a relationship, job loss etc. or that the client has found themselves 'stuck' in a place they feel unable to work through with any clarity of thought.

Hello, I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 13 years of experience specialising in working with adults, children, young people and their families. I help people to make sense of any challenges they are facing and support people experiencing a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, low mood, worries and fears, difficulties with behaviour and relationships, coping with life events and sleep problems. I offer an integrative approach informed by evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Narrative therapy, the Solihull Approach and Systemic approaches.

Perhaps you are experiencing low mood swings on a regular basis? Or heightened anxiety? You may have recently experienced a heart breaking bereavement? Maybe you feel isolated and overwhelmed? Or there may be things from your past that are burdening you that you would like to explore in a secure space with a compassionate listener ? Whatever your reasons, I am here to help and work alongside you. It takes courage to come into counselling and you have taken an important first step. I can offer you a safe, warm, non-judgemental space to explore your feelings and any aspects of your life where you may feel stuck.

Hi and welcome. I know how daunting it can be to start therapy but we can work together to explore your current difficulties, looking at them through a new lens so you have greater insight and perspective. By building a warm & trusting relationship with you I can enable you to feel heard and understood, make sense of your feelings or maybe understand why you are not feeling, gain greater insight into your inner emotional world, accept those parts of yourself you may not like, help you to manage difficult people and teach you how to turn off your inner 'critical voice' so you become more forgiving and kinder to yourself and others.

I understand that there can be times when it may feel difficult to cope with what life brings. These feelings could be anxiety, depression, anger or grief and they can be overwhelming and confusing. I am here to listen to you in a confidential and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to talk and where we can explore together to make sense of what you are feeling. My goal is to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.

I am a counsellor specialising in the treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, issues with self-esteem or relationships, and repeating patterns of behaviour you’d like to change. I believe wholeheartedly that change and growth is possible in us all, and I work hard with my clients to help achieve that. Having been diagnosed with Combined-Type ADHD in 2021, I lead monthly support groups for the charity ADHD UK, and work with numerous ADHD clients and those across the neurodiversity spectrum.

I am an Integrative therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I provide emotional support for Children, Young People and Parents. My approach with children is play based and creative therapy. My work with parents is taken from a relational approach helping parents to learn about their attachment styles building on their understanding of their child's development and improving relationships. My support helps children understand their feelings, improving confidence, self esteem, anxiety, behaviours, and emotional wellbeing.

We come to therapy for all sorts of different reasons. Perhaps the most important thing to say is that there is no single, “right” reason. You might come to therapy because things have happened to you, such as a death, a divorce or a loss of something else, like a job. Or perhaps you have specific symptoms or feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem or a lack of confidence. Or you may be experiencing issues in relationships, with people or with other things, e.g. food. Or it may be the case that you can’t pinpoint what’s wrong, things just don’t feel right and life simply isn’t going the way you expected.
