Trauma and PTSD Counselling in M12

I mostly work mostly with men struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, OCD & PTSD, relating to their life experiences (both past and recent) and what may be keeping the problem going. The therapeutic relationship is proven to contribute to 50% of success in therapy and so I prioritise the relationship with my clients from start to finish. I mostly use CBT and EMDR but have training in other models to enhance therapy (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). My style of therapy is evidence based, has a clear goal and provides my clients with the tools to overcome their problems.

I desire to see you healed and whole. I provide weekly one-to-one psychotherapy in person from Central London or online. With over 15 years clinical experience working for many years with complex trauma & PTSD in one of the UK's largest NHS Foundation Trusts. Specialising in addictions and eating disorders. For the last 8 years, I have been in private practice and mostly working with ADHD, PTSD & racial trauma. I also run a monthly group to explore the intersectionality of ethnicity & gender for diverse corporate women creating a safe, welcoming space where you can explore, grow, and thrive. Can't wait to meet you!

Hi. I am Sarah. I am a fully qualified and registered counsellor with over 8 years experience. My focus areas are: Depression, anxiety, Grief, self-esteem issues, Trauma (PTSD and complex PTSD) as well as Couples counselling. I work with both Teens and adults online via zoom. I provide a non judgmental safe space to explore your current issues using an Integrative approach- I use elements of CBT, BWRT, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Existential therapy, and Emotion Freedom technique.

If you are a trauma survivor, I see you. I’m here for you. I provide a safe space to explore what happened to you. Together, we’ll find ways to manage the psychological and physiological distress that is a result of trauma. You are not alone. My collaborative process creates a safe space for you to work through your traumatic experience(s) and come out stronger on the other side. I will empower you to make choices to live your life in accordance with your values and beliefs. I am an inclusive therapist and work with everyone who has experienced trauma, including marginalized and under-represented groups of people.
