Sarah Irvine

I am an integrative counsellor and I work online in private practice. I have studied Person Centred , Gestalt and Transactional Analysis. I have continued my professional development studying family systems, forensic psychology, sand tray and Polyvagal theory. 

Alongside my private practice I work face to face and online with two counselling agencies that support young people.  I have a CPCAB level 5 certificate in working with children and young people.

Prior to qualifying as a counsellor I have had experience of working with the police, prison service, social care and in therapeutic children's residential settings.

I am challenging , curious, congruent and empathic, offering a safe space to explore at a pace that fits the clients needs and encourage self development. 

I bring myself to the session, present and open to what develops while practicing ethically and professionally so that safety is maintained at all times.

My sessions are 50 minutes for an individual client  (£50) and 60 minutes for a family-2 or more clients (£75)

I do not complete an assessment for the first session and the session rate is the same. 

Prior to the first session I will email the contract to the client for agreement. This will outline our way of working together. 

I offer a 10 minute free telephone conversation to discuss what the client wants and whether we are compatible prior to agreeing the first session.
