My Approach

Sarah’s approach is centred on reflection, curiosity, and the uncovering of links and different points of view that help to make sense of life experiences.

Sometimes our capacity for reflection and curiosity gets squeezed out by life patterns, or by traumatic events, and we need time and space to reconnect with ourselves and rediscover these states of mind. Then it becomes possible to notice things that may otherwise have been overlooked, normalised or held in disconnection. Patterns can emerge.

Sarah’s Group Analytic background means that social and cultural experiences are kept in view, including racism, inequality and intergenerational trauma.

Twice-weekly analytic psychotherapy is also available. This offers more intensity and focus partly because there is less time in-between sessions for defences to rebuild.

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.

Feelings of anxiety, stress and shame can be terribly debilitating. Talking and reflecting can often help to unravel both the present day experience and what may have gone before, and release some of the creative potential that is held back by anxiety and shame.
Loss can often shape our loves, and the way we deal with it may be influenced by many things. Grieving is an individual journey, but much helped by talking and sharing.
Depression is one word with as many variations as there are sufferers. Each depression needs to be treated in the context of the person, their experiences and needs, and as the consequence of a particular set of conditions.
Relationships can be puzzling. I am interested in how our relationships help to define us, in how the way we relate can be affected by unseen assumptions and influences, the tension between belonging and individuality and the questions of negotiating difference and distance.
I welcome therapists in training, having worked with students training to be Counsellors for many years and having done multiple trainings myself. Training is a unique experience. Student rate available.
