About ME
My name is Sarah and I have been counselling since 2012.
Counselling is my second career and prior to running my own private practice and becoming a mum, I worked in the corporate world as a PA in project management and the world of behavioural market research.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means I am trained and use a variety of approaches to work with my clients depending on their needs, issues and how we agree to work together.
I work from home either online or my warm and cosy garden room. The environment and service I offer is confidential, safe and a non-judgemental space for you to talk about your life and explore areas of concern that may be difficult, painful or confusing for you. I am located in central Bicester with off road parking.
Using both my knowledge and experience, I aim to ensure that you are being heard and understood. Together we can look at your day to day difficulties and past issues; for you to gain understanding about your personal world.
I offer both short and long term counselling and like to review regularly, so you feel that the counselling relationship is building and we are working towards your goals and focus areas. I work with young people, adults and couples.
Couples therapy looks to improve communication and resolve any issues within an intimate relationship. We work on understanding how external factors, family and lifestyle can affect the relationship with arguing or not being able to resolve conflict to move forward.
As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work to their Ethical Framework which provides me guidelines for working safely and ethically within a counselling relationship.
I work with a variety of presenting issues some being:
- Anxiety and depression
- Anger and panic
- Low self esteem
- Grief and loss
- Abuse
- OCD and other anxiety disorders
- Trauma and PTSD
- Addiction and eating disorders
- Relationships
I offer a free 20 minute introduction session, which gives us both the opportunity to meet, have a conversation and understand more about how I work and how we would work together.
