Sally Smallman

I currently have some availability. 

I work Monday afternoon and evening, Tuesday morning, afternoon and evening and Wednesday morning, afternoon and evening.

I work with relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss and a wide range of presenting problems. You have taken that first difficult step...it takes great courage to seek therapeutic support! Please click on my profile and continue reading to see if I can help YOU. I am an 'Integrative' therapist with almost 20 years experience. 

Much of my work is relationship counselling for troubled couples or individuals within a couple. However, relationship problems can be with family, friends, work colleagues or even a difficult relationship with yourself. 

The other area I specialise in is bereavement and loss. Loss is not only the death of loved ones, it can be divorce, loss of a relationship, loss of 'self', loss of a friendship, loss of physical/mental ability, loss of a stage of your life, loss of a job, career, and so on.

There are points in our lives when we all have personal pain, difficulties or challenging life situations. At these times, it can feel as though we are in a lonely or desperate place. Whilst immersed in our worries, it can seem impossible to believe that not only do we have our own inner power to overcome our problems, we can actually learn and grow from these experiences. Troubled relationships can also be an opportunity to take your relationship in another direction or to another level.

You are not alone; there are others who feel or have felt as you do and with the right support and guidance you CAN overcome your difficulties, transform your situation and better cope with and enrich your life.

My clients and couples come from all walks of life and although there are common themes in terms of their problems, I treat each client situation as completely unique. The key areas I now work with are:

Individuals and couples,

Relationship issues

Bereavement and Loss,

Emotional pain from the past or present,

Life crisis / decisions / 'stuck' and unable to move forward,

Personal or spiritual development

Please note that I offer 60 minute and 90 minute sessions.

Individual 1 hour session: £50. Individual 90 minute sessions are £60 (this works out at £40 an hour).

Couple 1 hour sessions are £60. Couple 90 minute sessions are £75 (this works out at £50 an hour).

For young person rates please see my website. I normally work face-to-face only but I will work on-line if a client is poorly and can't travel or if they are away/on business. I can work outdoors (e.g. walk and talk) if it is appropriate for the client/presenting problem.

I have a therapy dog , if desired, for working with individuals in special circumstances (e.g. bereavement).

I offer an initial free of charge 30 minute consultation for all prospective clients, without obligation. Choosing the right therapist for you is crucial and I would suggest meeting at least a couple of therapists before you decide. A 30 minute meeting allows us to meet and discuss your concerns in more detail. It also allows you to ask me any questions that would help you make your choice of therapist. At that meeting I will give you some information to take a way to think about and you can re-contact me, if you choose to go ahead and book some sessions.
