About me and my therapy practice
The global pandemic is presenting us all with unprecedented challenges. We have had to adjust quickly as the situation has developed, fundamentally changing the way we live, work and interact with others. Many are feeling anxious and overwhelmed, concerned for themselves and their loved ones, and uncertain about the future.
What I can offer
I am currently offering short-term counselling and therapy via video call and telephone. Short-term therapy is a focused way of working, ideal for anyone looking to address something specific that they are struggling with in their day-to-day life.
I have some low-cost places available for people whose income has been affected by the pandemic or are otherwise unable to pay the full fee of £65. Session times can be flexible, to account for shift work and the impact of social distancing and lockdown on work, family and living arrangements.
When working remotely, I draw on skills and knowledge gained from my face-to-face therapy training, as well as several years' experience supporting people on helplines and digital platforms. I use secure software to uphold confidentiality. To find out more, please visit: sarahwallertherapy.co.uk

About therapy and counselling
People choose to see a counsellor or therapist for all sorts of reasons. Some people have something specific they want help dealing with; other people have a sense that something's not quite right, but can't put their finger on what that 'something' is.
Therapy and counselling can help you make sense of whatever is going on for you, within the framework of a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential relationship. It can support you through difficult times and help you gain clarity both about yourself and the situation you find yourself in, however overwhelming or confusing it may seem now. And with clarity comes greater choice, hope and the possibility of change.
How I work
I'm a qualified therapist and counsellor, based in Dalston and Highbury and Islington. I work integratively, which means I draw on a range of approaches depending on what fits best with each individual and the issues they want to address. You may have heard of some of these approaches - psychodynamic, existential, person-centred - but it doesn't matter if you haven't.
Studies show that the key to effective therapy is not your therapist's approach but rather the quality of your relationship with your therapist. That's why I encourage people to come for an initial session to see how it would be to work together. If it doesn't feel like a good fit, I'd be happy to recommend other options.
For anyone who may find it helpful, I offer a range of art materials for creative expression. You're also welcome to bring in your own images, poems, music and dreams.
I work with people from all walks of life, whatever their age, ethnicity, faith, cultural heritage, socioeconomic background, gender identity or sexuality.
