Your space to talk, to grow, to change
Meet Sarah
Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (MBACP)
Based in North London, I provide in-person and online counselling, psychotherapy, and CBT for adults (18+). I bridge the gap between clinical expertise and lived experience, helping you rewrite your inner dialogue and take charge of your choices.
From severe anxiety and depression to the weight of 'not coping,' I support clients through their most challenging moments. Whether you're worn out from the exhaustion of a harsh inner critic, locked in anxiety spirals, lacking motivation, suffering from attachment wounds or trying to recover from abuse, we’ll work to heal the wounds beneath the surface.
I navigate ADHD and the neurodivergent world from the inside out. My neuroaffirmative approach provides clients and families with lived-experience insights and the practical tools needed to thrive under the ND umbrella.
With over five years on the clinical team at Mind Barnet/Enfield and my current work as a Qualified NHS Talking Therapies (CfD) therapist with Hertfordshire Mind, my practice is grounded in continuous professional growth and clinical excellence
How I work
My 3 pillars of therapeutic growth are:
- Building a strong alliance with a client to foster trust
- Growing self-awareness and in turn, self-compassion
- Gaining the confidence to make different choices and change
Whether we work open-ended or time-limited, your process is the priority. We can dive deep into how childhood shapes your adulthood, or stay focused on a specific goal or recurring thought or behaviour. In both, the client's individual process is respected and held by me.
We’ll work together to dismantle deep-seated patterns and break the cycle. By combining deep exploration with practical cognitive tools, I help you rewrite ingrained behaviours and build lasting self-awareness
Trauma-informed care is the foundation of my work. I provide the tools—like breathwork and emotion-focused techniques—to help you navigate your day-to-day with more ease
