About me
Hello I’m Sarah, a qualified counsellor with a focus of providing a warm and gentle neuro-affirming approach.
You might be here because you feel overwhelmed with life right now. With extensive experience of working with grief and loss, I also understand what it is like to be neurodivergent, supporting those who are Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD.
My belief is that therapy offers you a place to slow down, breathe and be exactly who you are without judgment or expectations. In sessions my aim will not be to fix you, but to provide support whilst we work together to help you find the right answers for you.
Therapy doesn't have to always be a big dramatic breakthrough and sometimes healing happens in small and quiet moments. Perhaps you would like the opportunity to rediscover who you are, and the emotions you are carrying.
If this sounds like you, then I offer consistent and supportive therapy.
Working both online and telephone, I offer a flexible approach to counselling to make sure we work in a way that is comfortable to you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
This list of areas I work with doesn't capture the whole picture of who I am or what therapy with me will feel like. It’s simply a starting point - an invitation to explore what you might need.
The best way to know if we’re a good fit is to have a conversation together. That’s why I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone call, so you can get a sense of me, ask any questions, and decide whether working together feels right for you.

Further information
My approach is Person-Centred, which means our work is guided by what matters most to you. I offer a gentle, confidential space where you can feel seen, heard, and accepted just as you are.
Together, we’ll explore whatever you choose to bring, and I’ll be alongside you - steady and supportive - as you make sense of your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
