If you're feeling stuck, depleted, or like you're walking on eggshells in a relationship — romantic, family, friendship or work — you're in the right place.
I specialise in unhealthy relationship dynamics, emotional abuse, coercive control and manipulation. I've spent years studying these patterns — in the therapy room and beyond. I also offer Rewind Trauma Therapy for trauma and PTSD, and I'm the author of Game Over, out July 2026.

It might be anxiety, depression, past trauma, ADHD, or patterns in relationships or with self-worth that feel hard to shift.
For some, that means exploring the roots of things: childhood wounds, past relationships, or grief. For others, it’s about breaking unhelpful patterns in the present: feeling unheard in relationships, finding it hard to trust, or getting caught in the same arguments again and again. There’s room for both.

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 work exclusively with couples, and only online, unless you live local to me.
Couples therapy is usually for ninety minute appointments. There are often two aspects to the therapy: Coaching in the form of skills/tools you can utilize ( relationships are complicated, and we get no training in how to be successful in them), and secondly, healing work on any developmental wounds or traumas which may be impacting your current situation.

Individuals and couples decide to look for therapy for many reasons; stress, anxiety or depression, difficulties in relationships; anything that's stopping them living the life they want.
I have a particular interest in working with complex or dysfunctional family dynamics. Often the link between difficulties in the present and such a history isn't obvious until explored with care and compassion.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
