My Approach

I take a gentle but pragmatic approach, helping people identify and build on their existing strengths to achieve their own goals. I draw on Gestalt psychotherapy and EMDR and adapt the work to the person in front of me, offering both short-term focused work and longer-term therapy. My practice is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming.

About Me

I'm Sarah Duncan, a UKCP-accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner with over 25 years of clinical experience. I work full time in private practice with adults and young people aged 18 and over, offering online and face to face in Nottingham City Centre, and walk and talk sessions. I am registered with several health insurance companies and have a varied caseload, a large component of which includes students, medical professionals and parents of neurodivergent children. My background includes employee assistance services at councils, schools, universities, and trauma support with refugees and asylum seekers. Before my MSc in Gestalt psychotherapy, I studied Psychology at the University of Warwick.
