My Approach

My approach to counselling is relational, integrative, and grounded in a deep respect for your individual experience. I believe that a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change. Drawing on a wide range of therapeutic models, I tailor our work to suit your unique needs and goals. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I offer a calm, compassionate space to support your healing and growth. I work with people from many different walks of life who are struggling with how they feel or who have reached a point where something needs to change. Life can be unpredictable, and emotional pain, stress, or low mood can touch any of us — sometimes without warning.
Research shows that around one in four adults will experience a mental health difficulty each year, so if you’re finding things hard, you’re not alone.

Often, distress can be linked to a sudden event, a life transition, or to earlier experiences that resurface when something in the present brings them back into focus. At these times, therapy can offer a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to understand yourself in a different way.

Together, we can explore what lies beneath the surface of your feelings, find new ways of coping, and work towards healing and growth. My aim is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to move forward.

I work with a wide range of issues, including:

Anxiety, panic, and worry

Low mood and depression

Anger and frustration

Grief, loss, and bereavement

Relationship and family difficulties

The impact of trauma

Low self-esteem or self-criticism

Personal growth and self-discovery

About Me

Hello, my name is Sally,

I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor and supervisor with over 15 years of experience, offering relational, integrative therapy for a wide range of emotional and psychological issues. My practice is based in a peaceful rural setting between Malton and Pocklington, with the option of walking therapy. I bring professional integrity, warmth, and depth to both therapy and supervision.

  • Couples

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

Working with Anxiety Anxiety can take many forms — constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or a sense of being on edge — and it can easily become overwhelming. In our work together, I help clients understand what’s happening in both the mind and body when anxiety takes hold, and to develop ways of calming the nervous system and responding with greater compassion and balance. Through gentle exploration, we look at the deeper patterns or experiences that may be fuelling your anxiety, while also focusing on practical tools to manage it day to day. Over time, this process can help you feel more grounded, confident, and able to meet life’s challenges with greater ease.
Working with Depression Depression can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or as though the colour has drained from life. In therapy, I offer a space where you can begin to make sense of these feelings, understand what might lie beneath them, and find gentle ways to reconnect with yourself and the world around you. Together, we work towards restoring a sense of hope, self-compassion, and meaning — at a pace that feels right for you.
Working with Relationship Difficulties Relationships are central to our wellbeing, yet they can also be a source of pain, conflict, or confusion. I help clients explore patterns of relating that may be rooted in early experiences, and to develop healthier ways of communicating and connecting. Whether you’re struggling with a partner, family member, or colleague, therapy can help you understand yourself in relationship and build more satisfying, balanced connections.
Supervision Practice My supervision work is grounded in the same values that underpin my therapy practice — relational depth, curiosity, and compassion. I draw on my integrative background, including relational–developmental theory, trauma-informed practice, compassion-focused approaches, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to support supervisees in reflecting on both the client process and their own internal experience. Supervision with me offers a collaborative and supportive space to think about the complexities of clinical work, the impact on the practitioner, and the relational dynamics that unfold. My aim is to help therapists feel resourced, reflective, and connected to their own professional integrity and growth.
