I’m Sara, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and systemic practitioner offering 1:1 therapy, couples and family sessions, and life consultancy. I offer a calm, reflective space to pause, breathe, and make sense of what feels heavy, tangled, or hard to hold alone. My approach is warm, relational, and creative, helping you notice patterns shaping your relationships, choices, and sense of self. I work at your pace, online or in person, supporting clarity, connection, and meaningful next steps. If you’re feeling unsure, stuck, or at a point of change, you’re invited to get in touch to explore whether working together feels right.
I work with adults on trauma, loss, shame, grief, identity, and belonging, including adoption-related experiences. Using an integrative, relational, and systemic approach, I combine psychodynamic, person-centred, body-based, and creative methods to explore patterns, relationships, and context, fostering insight, clarity, and resilience
If life feels overwhelming, stuck, or confusing, I offer a warm, safe space to explore what’s weighing on you. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, reflect on relationships, and use creative, relational, and systemic approaches to help you gain clarity, insight, and a sense of direction

I practise Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling with a strong Systemic foundation. I draw on relational, trauma-informed, attachment-based, DBT & CBT-informed and reflective practices, adapting therapy to the person or family rather than fitting them to one model.
