Hi, I'm Sarah. I offer short and long-term counselling for adults. You might already have a clear sense of what you need, or you may not know yet. Both are completely okay. Sessions with me provide a non-judgemental, empathetic space where you are supported to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and to discover your own way forward. My professional and personal lived experience encompasses a range of issues, with particular focus on: anxiety; depression; grief; chronic illness; parenting/perinatal issues; relationship/family challenges; neurodivergence; school avoidance; low self esteem; and anger.
I trained integratively though primarily work from a person-centred perspective. This means I believe you are the expert on your own life and needs. However, I know from personal experience that this internal voice can sometimes feel lost or silenced.
The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. My approach reflects my personality - calm, compassionate, and genuine - with space for humour alongside gentle challenge. I aim to create a space where you feel safe and heard, meeting you as a fellow human above all else. If this appeals to you then please get in touch.
Take the first step to help. Sarah Hislam now

My approach is non-pathological - I am more interested in who you are, what has led to your current situation, and how to support you with change, rather than any diagnosis. You may be surprised at how much difference just a couple of sessions makes but equally I am happy to work with you longer term, always being guided by your needs and priorities.

I work relationally - I'm interested in connecting with you as a person and supporting you to understand past and present experience. I'm trained integratively meaning I can adapt my approach to your specific needs. I'm particularly interested in somatic work (how you feel in your body) and parts work but I shall always be guided by your preferences.
