My name is Sarah, and I work both online and in person in Woodley, Henley, and throughout Berkshire. Call for a free 15min discovery call. Anxiety, bereavement, and chronic illnesses can leave us feeling lost, numb, and unable to function in everyday life. Together, we can work at your own pace to explore unhelpful patterns and aim to build a greater understanding of yourself. When we feel overwhelmed with feelings, we might not want to bother our loved ones. Starting to talk can feel like a weight has been lifted and is the first step toward healing. I am here to make this a safe journey where you will grow and find peace of mind.
Anxiety can show up as irritability, fatigue, panic, or avoiding what you love. I’ll help you understand why, learn coping strategies, release tension, and start feeling more like yourself again. Grief, bereavement, and chronic illness can leave us feeling isolated, numb, and overwhelmed. Starting to unpack our feelings slowly will help you start to heal.
If you’ve never had counselling before or find it hard to open up, it’s completely understandable to feel unsure or overwhelmed. I’m here to help you feel at ease, offering a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly and be truly heard. If you feel ready, I’d be glad to hear from you.
