Sessions are flexible and can be booked online. I am able to offer sessions during weekdays, weekends and evenings.

However, I recommend that sessions take place at the same place and time so that you can commit to working through your challenges at a steady pace. Your needs can be discussed during your initial consultation.

Hello, my name is Sarah and thank you for looking at my profile. I understand how challenging relationships can bring us anxiety and depression, making our lives unbearable. I specialise in helping people to overcome the debilitating trauma that can result from difficult relationships, breakups, divorce, narcissistic abuse, borderline personality disorder, bullying and codependency.

I understand the importance of a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you will feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you – allowing you to relax and begin to let go of fear and deeply held trauma. You can then begin to feel calmer, happier and more empowered in your life outside of the therapy room.

Having an understanding, experienced counsellor can help you to reclaim your power and live a life that you deserve. Therapy can not only allow you to recover from distress and upset that you may have experienced, but you can also learn to thrive, living a life that is deeply fulfilling and no longer living in the shadow of your past.

My experience:

I have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds looking to achieve manageability in their lives and increased wellbeing in themselves following emotional trauma. For nearly a decade, I have worked in the voluntary sector, helping vulnerable survivors of childhood abuse and domestic violence who struggle to manage with daily life. For 7 years, I have coached individuals seeking recovery from codependency and dysfunctional relationships.

My professional qualifications:

I know how difficult challenging relationships can be and the impact they have on our lives – even if they occurred many years ago - so I know how important it is to offer a safe space where you can relax and open up at your own pace. I offer warmth, acceptance and empathy so that you feel free to be yourself, without judgement.

What I can help with:

• Depression
• Complex-PTSD
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Suicidal Ideation
• Low self-esteem
• Complex P-TSD
• Insecure attachment
• Addiction & Compulsive Behaviours
• Codependency
• Narcissism / Narcissistic Abuse recovery
• Borderline Personality Disorder
• Domestic violence
• Adultery
• Relationship breakups & divorce
• Miscarriage & fertility problems
• Grief & bereavement
• Dysfunctional family systems
• Childhood trauma
• Wounded inner child
• Workplace bullying & discrimination
• Redundancy

Therapy sessions with me can enable you to:

• Alleviate feelings of stress, anxiety and depression.
• Increase your self-esteem and self-worth
• Feel more empowered in challenging situations
• Gain confidence in your life
• Achieve goals and ambitions
• Build stronger and more intimate relationships
• Come to term with difficulties and loss

You can choose how you receive counselling – or if you are not sure what is best for you, we can discuss this in your initial consultation to decide what fits your needs. All sessions are secure and confidential. I offer face-to-face sessions in a relaxed office in the heart of Saltaire. I also have sessions available online either by video call, text chat or email if you prefer.

I offer reduced prices for student counsellors, trainees and those on benefits.

I provide a FREE, no obligation, initial 20 minute video call consultation to enable you to make an informed decision about whether therapy is right for you. If you decide that therapy together is right for you, then we will look at a contract. The contract will include boundaries, fees, confidentiality and cancellation policies. There will also be an assessment form for you to fill in so that I can get to know you a little better and to have a good understanding of your individual needs before your counselling begins.
