More about Sara

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I offer a grounded and compassionate space where you can explore your inner experience.

As an accredited Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered in the UK, I have over 10 years of experience working with adults across a range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

I support clients with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, relationship challenges, addictions, eating disorders, and life transitions.

My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, which focuses on increasing awareness of thoughts, emotions, and bodily experience in the present moment. This process can help identify patterns, develop self-understanding, and support meaningful change.

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I work with respect for each person’s individuality, supporting you to build on your existing strengths and develop greater self-awareness and resilience.

Reaching out for support can feel challenging. If you decide to begin therapy, I will be here to work alongside you in a thoughtful and supportive way.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
