Sarah Venis

As an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I work to create a safe, helping, non-judgmental relationship through which we can explore the issues that have led you to seek support through therapy.

While I believe that many problems can have roots in our past, and it can be helpful to explore these links, I focus on helping my clients understand and address difficulties they are experiencing in the present in their life and relationships.

I work as an integrative practitioner, which means that I have trained in different approaches that can be adapted and combined to meet the needs of individual clients.

As well as a therapeutic relationship, I use somatic approaches to work with creating a sense of bodily safety in the nervous system, which is particularly important in clients with anxiety or who have suffered trauma.

I am an LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist with experience of working with diversity in sexuality and gender identity. 

I offer online and telephone therapy.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and are usually weekly. Online sessions are by Skype or Zoom.

Please contact me by email to arrange a free 20-minute session to explore what brings you to therapy and help determine whether I am the right therapist to help you at this time.

If you would like to continue therapy after the first session, we will arrange a weekly slot at a regular time, for an initial number of sessions after which we will review how the therapy is working and whether you wish to continue.
