Sarah Venis

Looking for a therapist who is a good fit for you can be a daunting process. You might be struggling with anxiety or depression, or uncertain about what exactly you are feeling. I offer a free 20 minute initial consultation to help determine whether I would be a suitable therapist for your needs.

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

I will focus on helping you understand and address any difficulties that you are experiencing in the present in your life, emotions, and relationships.

I will use and adapt a range of approaches such as humanistic and psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), inner child work, cognitive and dialectical behavioural therapy (CBT/DBT), and trauma-informed therapy to find what works best for you. 

In addition, 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 aim to leave you with a tool-kit of knowledge and techniques to take away to help you continue feeling well after the therapy has finished.

I am an LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist. 

I offer online and telephone therapy.

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

Please contact me by email to arrange a free 20-minute session to explore what brings you to therapy and help you decide 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.
