Sarah Ryan

I’m Sarah Ryan, a fully qualified BACP-registered psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals explore, heal, and move forward into fulfilling, authentic lives.

You may be exploring therapy for a variety of reasons - perhaps you’re facing uncertainty about your next steps in life or navigating a challenging experience. Therapy offers a space to reflect, gain clarity, and work toward meaningful change. Whether you’re dealing with something specific or simply looking to understand yourself better, I provide a supportive, professional environment tailored to your needs.

My practice supports people through challenges such as:

• Trauma, including experiences of rape, child abuse, and narcissistic relationships

• Complex PTSD and cumulative trauma

• Attachment difficulties and relational challenges

• Divorce and navigating significant life changes.

I’ve also supported highly sensitive individuals and those who may not know why they’re struggling, walking alongside them to uncover and address the root causes of their challenges.

As a trauma-informed therapist with integrative training, I draw on a range of approaches to meet your needs. This includes psychodynamic principles, inner child healing, and somatic awareness, combined with insights from neuroscience and consciousness studies. My approach is collaborative and deeply client-centered, ensuring that we work together to create a process that feels right for you.

I do not currently have availability for new clients.
