Sally Humphries

Due to the current situation with Covid-19, I am only able to offer video call or telephone counselling.

I have worked with adults and couples for over 19 years and, through my work, I have been privileged to meet many unique and amazing human beings!

As a counsellor, I believe my greatest strength is my ability to create a meaningful connection and therapeutic relationship with another human being.  I believe strongly in always striving to be genuine, authentic, empathic and to feel unconditional acceptance of others. All of these qualities I consider to be vital in order to create a therapeutic relationship with someone who is looking for help, with whatever it is that has led them to seek counselling.

As a human being (I'm not just a counsellor!) people say I am very easy to talk to and that I have a really good sense of humour. The latter I believe can be especially helpful in life at times!

I believe, within counselling, the relationship with another is the therapy and it is the therapeutic relationship with another human being that heals. As a counsellor, I view myself as a fellow traveller, sharing part of another persons journey through life, for as long as they want me alongside them. I feel both humbled and honoured when someone puts their trust in me, and invites me to walk alongside them for a while, and shares with me with their unique story.

I have worked with a wide variety of issues including, anxiety, depression, family and relationship problems, stress, work related issues, trauma, bereavement and couples counselling. I also have significant experience of working with clients on the autistic spectrum. In addition, I have experience and a special interest in working with clients who have experienced a cancer diagnosis and treatment and the associated emotional impact that has.
