Hello! I'm Sarah an accredited CBT therapist and EMDR therapist with a range of experience in most areas of mental health over a career that has spanned 20 years with the NHS. I offer treatment to adults across the UK in convenient online sessions and I also offer in person therapy in the north east. I work with anxiety presentations from low self esteem, social anxiety, OCD and health worries among others. I can also support helping people overcome low mood and depression, both by looking at how we can bring about behavioural change and challenging unhelpful thinking styles.

Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood, exhausted or disconnected from themselves. They may be autistic or otherwise neurodivergent, exploring whether neurodivergence explains lifelong experiences, or struggling with anxiety, burnout, trauma, masking, identity or major life transitions. They're looking for more than symptom relief, they want to understand themselves in a way that feels compassionate, respectful and meaningful, creating change that fits who they are rather than who they feel expected to be.
