About Sarah
Counselling and Psychotherapy experience
I have worked with adults in the voluntary sector and in private practice. I have had experience of both long- and short-term work with a wide range of issues, both with my private clients and those with whom I have worked at a leading charity in the West Midlands.
In working with my clients, my aim is to meet them with empathy and respect and without judgement, valuing their uniqueness and individuality, whilst tailoring the therapy to their specific needs.
I have particular experience in working with stress, anxiety, depression, psychosomatic symptoms, panic attacks, feelings of low self-worth and low self-esteem, physical and emotional abuse, bereavement, trauma, addictive patterns, relationship problems, eating disorders, and those who are struggling with a lack of purpose and meaning in their lives.
