Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

As an integrative psychotherapist, Sarah takes a holistic approach to mental health, tailoring therapy to each client’s individual needs. She recognises that every person’s experience is unique and draws on a range of psychological theories and practices to provide the most appropriate and effective support. She understands that our environments, family systems, and past experiences play a significant role in shaping identity, self-perception, and emotional wellbeing. By creating a trusting and supportive space, Sarah helps clients explore these influences, identify limiting patterns or beliefs, and work toward greater self-acceptance, resilience, and fulfilment. Sarah works primarily from a person-centred perspective, underpinned by a trauma-informed approach. She integrates a range of psychological modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, and emotion-focused therapy. This integrative approach allows therapy to remain responsive and flexible, ensuring it aligns with each client’s personal experiences, values, and goals, and supports a meaningful and effective healing process.
