Individual Psychotherapy and Couples Counselling
Clapham, Balham, Wandsworth, Peckham and Online across the UK
I work with individuals and couples to explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape how you relate to yourself and others. As an integrative psychotherapist, I incorporate a range of ideas and techniques into my work. I am broadly humanistic in my approach, meaning we have a dialogue and build a working relationship together. I also draw on attachment theory, compassion-focused therapy, and CBT techniques to support you in making meaningful changes. In my work with couples I use Terry Real's RLT framework, a highly effective method for transforming relationships.
Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, navigating relationship difficulties, or seeking a deeper sense of fulfilment, therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences. In our work together, we’ll cultivate self-awareness, compassion, and resilience to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My Approach
My approach is conversational and supportive, offering a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences and find ways to cope with what you're going through.
"Sarah's warmth and gentle humour immediately put me at ease. Her ability to just 'be there' throughout our sessions has helped me explore and make sense of painful early life experiences. Sarah is compassionate and totally down-to-earth. I have found our sessions to be life changing."
