Hello. My name is Sara and my private practice specialises in supporting women to move from struggle to freedom.  Whatever the reason you find yourself here, be it relationship challenges, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression or trauma, our work together will enable you to achieve a greater sense of clarity in your life and empower you to restore trust in yourself and in the decisions you make. ​I am passionate about sharing what I've learned from my own journey through loss, relationships and trauma, to empower other women who are also looking to live authentically and become the best version of themselves.

Having experienced counselling myself, I appreciate the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I pride myself on creating a warm and confidential environment which allows my clients the space and privacy to talk about their personal problems, free from judgement. I feel privilege to do a job that makes a difference, learning about people and really offering help to them in times of deep personal need. As well as running my private practice, I work part-time in a couple of secondary schools and I deliver counselling sessions for a women's charity in Liverpool. I am a Person Centred Counsellor and CBT Therapist.

If you are struggling with relationships, loss, stress, or feeling lost and overwhelmed, you might feel like you’re stuck, don’t know where to turn or how to move forward. Sometimes we don’t know what to say, how to say it or even fully understand what we are feeling; it’s often not just one thing that we are feeling but a complex mix of different emotions. Our sessions together will give you the opportunity to be heard, to explore your emotions and unpick the difficulties you are having.

I became a therapist because earlier in my life therapy helped me through anxiety and an eating disorder. So I know what it feels like on the other side too! I believe deeply in the therapeutic process and I am living proof that healing and recovery can change your life for the better.

Welcome to my therapy space. I can help you embrace a fuller life, and become a better version of yourself. When you cannot get going, when you miss that life spark, the hardest is to reach out and attend your first session. Well done for reading this. You are on your way to finding a safe space, somewhere and someone where you can offload, explore your coping mechanisms and work out a way forward.

For the past 16 years I have offered clients a therapeutic approach that has helped them develop an inner compass; a means by which to find themselves when lost, guide them through the storm, and secure anchor in a safe harbour. It is an approach that enables the letting go of unhelpful learning and habits such as self-criticism, guilt, fear and shame; promoting the acceptance of self and other. And it is from that place that we can return to our exploring... meeting life... with compassion, curiosity and creative wonder.

Hi all, I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist/Counsellor (meaning I work using Person Centred, Psychodynamic and/or CBT where required). Although, I believe that the skills and experience that I have learned are massively important, I also truly believe the 'therapeutic relationship' between me and you is just as important. People often seek counselling for any number of reasons, whether they are simply feeling low, want to offload or it may be something that is deeper. We will work together to see if it is something surface level or whether it is deeper and use the relevant therapy accordingly.

Want to make sense of what you are feeling right now and not sure how? It can be hard to discuss these feeling with those around you and you may be feeling alone, well I want to assure you, you are not, I am here to listen. In our sessions I offer you the time and space to explore the issues that are concerning you this is done at your pace. As my approach is non-directive, it means you led the sessions, I won’t push or pry in to matters you do not want to discuss neither will I advise your or tell you how to be. We will explore the issue together in the sessions and move towards an outcome that feels right for you.
