Sarah Parkhouse

My available hours are flexible

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor dedicated to placing the client at the heart of our work together. With warmth, empathy and a non-judgemental approach, I offer a confidential and respectful space where clients can safely explore their thoughts, feelings, values and beliefs at their own pace.

I am passionate about helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of their situations, supporting them deal with overpowering emotions and work through challenging times.  As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to the highest standards of professional practice.

With extensive experience of Children Services I work with young people aged 12 and above, and also with Adults, providing support for a wide range of issues including anxiety, self-harm and depression, relationship issues, stress and emotional fatigue, bereavement and identity related concerns.  

I work with individuals both in-person and online.

I work with adults, and with young people aged 12 and above.

I usually work in an open-ended manner but can also work to a deadline if needed.

Before committing to a session I would offer a free consultation over the phone to carry out an initial assessment and to check that we both feel we are able to work together.  Here arrangement can  discussed with regard to your needs and expectations, and I can answer any question or concerns you might have.

Following this client agreement paperwork will be sent for you to review and agree ahead of our first session, this paperwork covers all areas of general admin that will be useful, confidentiality and data protection processes.

With a brief overview on our initial discussion, together we can work to understand where you are at, and begin to work on the issues you would like us to focus on.
