Couples Counselling in Belfast
We can think together how therapy might be helpful to you so that your life can become meaningful again and you can enjoy relationships with a sense of belonging.
I am very interested to hear your story, to know what has happened to you and to focus on your recovery and well-being. Nothing is ever inconsequential, even the slightest concern is important, as are you. I am confident that in working together therapeutically with you, you can make the necessary changes in your life so that intimacy, trust, creativity and contentment come alive. I am always fascinated in learning how our family histories, migration and trans-generational traumas influence our life choices both personally and professionally. I have extensive experience in the NHS in a Tertiary Specialist Psychotherapy service.

This is important because the relationship you have with your therapist is the foundation upon which all other aspects of therapy and its effectiveness rely.
Are the things that are hard in life at the moment getting in the way of the life you want to live? Are your usual ways of coping with difficulties no longer working for you?
Are you ready to explore your feelings and why you act and react in certain ways?
It can be hard to know if it is the 'right' time to begin therapy especially if you are new to this type of support, but if you answered yes to these questions it could be time to think about support through therapy. Together we can find a way to help you or your loved ones through what is difficult right now. Change is hard, but you don't have to do it alone.

My main areas of expertise are suicide, trauma, and addiction, with particular interest and vast experience in working with couples with relationship problems.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a debilitating disorder that needs to be worked with carefully, sensitively but professionally. Suicidal thinking depression, and addiction can also apply, therefor experience is essential. The same can be said when working with couples, so clients can rest assured of a professional service which is respectful and empathic.

I provide a safe and confidential space for both individuals and those with relationship difficulties to work through what is troubling you.
My practice is psychodynamic in focus which involves working at a deeper level to access the origins of what is troubling you; this allows us to work with the source of the problem thus ‘getting it out by the roots’. I consider this to be like a process of enlightenment freeing you to leave old wounds behind and live your life to the fullest.

I work online with individuals and partners, on a long or short term basis.
I am a person-centred therapist who primarily works with people who are members of ENM, kink and LGBTQ+ communities. Each of these aspects of our identities are so multifaceted that it can feel overwhelming sometimes. I want to work with you to help you understand yourself, your needs and how to move towards that. Allowing ourselves to let go of who we were, embrace who we are and get out of old thinking patterns can be a lifelong mission, one that is much easier with support. I can work with you as you explore yourself. My practice is based on compassion and honesty, and collaboration is incredibly important to me.

My practice is entirely online, so individuals and couples can access therapy from the comfort of their own homes.
Maybe you've spent years feeling like you had to be someone else—constantly trying to meet the expectations of others. Whether it’s unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or the weight of anxiety and depression, it can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self. You might find yourself stuck in people-pleasing, overworking, masking, or repressing your emotions. Coping can turn into unhealthy patterns like self-harming, developing addictions, OCD, or eating disorders. Together, we can unravel those patterns, understand how your past is shaping your present, and help you develop what you need to feel good in your own skin.

Hello, I'm Sarahanne.
Here is a space where untangling the mess is welcome, growth is possible, and being human is enough. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply curious about who you are and what comes next, therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself and with what matters most.

It’s about understanding your story, gently exploring the patterns that no longer serve you, and making space for something new.
You're not alone in this. Let’s start where you are.

I am a professionally qualified counsellor offering a confidential, non-judgemental counselling service for young people, adults, and couples.
If you are considering some counselling/therapy, a good way to see if we might be able to work together is for us to have a conversation. This is why I offer the first session free-of-charge; a no obligation meeting for you to see if I can help you to begin to identify your needs. My experience includes working with people who struggle with anxiety; low mood; bereavement; and loss and also those who have suffered trauma; those who have suicidal thoughts; and those who have self-harming behaviours. My practice is also psychosexually informed, and I work with people experiencing sexual problems/issues.
