Sarah James

My name is Sarah and I support women through life transitions, offering a warm, nurturing approach rooted in years of experience in private practice, higher education, bereavement support, and hospice care. Whether you are experiencing changes in your personal life, facing shifts within your body, or dealing with loss, I am here to hold space for every aspect of your journey

Much of my work focuses on self-worth, loss of identity, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. When we live by "shoulds" - the career, relationship, or life we think we should have, we can lose touch with our true selves.

Life is a series of beginnings and endings, like the birth of a new career or the death of a significant relationship. Changes in our bodies - menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, perimenopause, and menopause, are all important rites of passage deeply tied to our sense of self. When these pivotal moments are ignored, it can lead to disconnection, anxiety, depression, or even physical symptoms.

Grief and ancestral work often play a role in understanding identity. We grieve not only what we’ve lost but also what we longed for but never had - whether related to health, relationships, or other experiences. When exploring childhood, inherited wounds can be revealed. Although challenging, shining a light here can provide helpful insights, making room for movement and change.

The aim of this work is to honour all parts of yourself - your past and present. When we let go of the "shoulds" and remove the masks, we remember the power and potential we each hold when we allow ourselves to be truly who we are.

As an integrative therapist, I weave different branches of psychotherapeutic theories together to meet your needs, mostly informed by Psychodynamic (exploring the impact of early childhood on adult life) and Person-Centred modalities (the belief we can grow in a supportive and compassionate environment).

I work at a pace and depth that is appropriate for you and may offer holistic practices such as guided visualisations and other grounding techniques to help integrate the work, reduce overwhelm, and provide deeper insight.

Above all, I believe in building a connection that is respectful and collaborative. This is about your unique journey. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures and sexual orientations.

I offer an initial consultation at a reduced rate of £40, my fees thereafter are £70 per session.

In your first session we look at what has brought you to therapy, and how we can find a way forward to support you. I can also answer any questions you may have.

Your sessions will be at the same time each week. We can agree to a fixed series of sessions, or leave it open for the longer-term, and we'll have regular check-ins to make sure you are getting what you need.

Please note I work online via Zoom.
