Taking the first steps together
About Sarah
I am a BACP qualified therapist, working with adults (18yrs +) in-person (Barnet) and online. I offer a blend of counselling approaches tailored to each client's particular concern or concerns, along with a non-judgmental, safe space for clients to talk, discover, and understand their individual experiences. The work can be open-ended or time-limited.
Alongside my integrative training, I have specific qualifications in working with anxiety and depression called Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression, used in the NHS Talking Therapies and hold a professional therapeutic qualification to work as a trauma-informed counsellor and offer trauma-informed skills. As well as my private clinic, I work as an anxiety and depression specialist therapist for Mind in Barnet and the Mind Hertfordshire Network.
How I work
My work is centred around the client's needs. I offer a blending of different therapeutic theories to help shed light on different times and aspects of your life. I can listen empathically, offer different perspectives, help connect past learnt behaviours with current struggles in adulthood and integrate your sessions with tools that can help you navigate today’s often fast-paced and unpredictable world.
