Sarah Hinds

Fully booked until November 2023.

I offer long and short term counselling from a humanistic and integrative perspective. 

I provide a calm and supportive space for you to talk through whatever is concerning you and to help you to find a meaningful way forward. This might be talking through a specific problem, taking time to make sense of different life experiences or finding ways of processing difficult emotions.

I also offer creative ways of exploring feelings and experiences through movement, dance, art and connecting with the natural world. 

I have over 25 years experience in different settings including schools, health centres, charities and HE (counselling students, staff and trainee nurses and medics). I also provide specialist support for women, performers and musicians and people impacted by climate or environmental concerns.

Face to face sessions are available at 'The Garden' and are either outdoors or in the different rustic indoor counselling spaces at the centre. 

There is also the option of walking in the grounds of Meynell Langley Hall or sitting outside at 'The Garden'. 

There is a large private outdoor space which can be used for creative ways of exploring and processing feelings through movement, music and dance.

Zoom and phone sessions are also available.

Your first session is at an introductory rate of £30 and will be 50 min long. It can take place face to face at The Garden or by phone or Zoom. If it's by Zoom I will send you a link by email before your first session. During the session we will discuss what brings you to counselling, what you need and whether I am able to offer what you need. There will also be chance to ask any questions you have about counselling. We will then create an agreement about how we will work together. Following this you can either book a number of sessions or book them one at a time as we progress. Sessions can be weekly or less frequently, based on your needs.

Currently full. Spaces may become available in 2024.

Supervision takes place on week days at 'The Garden' , on the grounds of Meynell Langley Hall (near Derby)

Supervision can also be by phone or Zoom if needed. Zoom sessions are usually on Thursdays.

I have worked as a counsellor since the late 1990's and have supervised trainee counsellors, university counsellors and those in private practice. I have an in-depth knowledge of working in the HE sector and have supervised student welfare officers.

Supervision if offered from an integrative humanistic perspective and I work as a skills tutor on a humanistic integrative counselling degree.

I have a level 6 supervision diploma, a Cert Ed (PCE) and 8 years experience of teaching counselling.

My practice is mostly be based at 'The Garden', an outdoor therapy centre just outside Derby. Here you can experience supervision outdoors and take advantage of the learning which can come from working outside. There are different indoor and outdoor spaces including a large sand circle for creative exploration. I am also a Sesame practitioner and member of the Climate Psychology Alliance and can offer perspectives from eco-therapy and creative therapy in supervision.

I also offer supervision over zoom.

Finding the right supervisor can be difficult so the first session is about listening to what you need from supervision and discovering whether we suit each other as supervisor and supervisee. If you decide to continue we will negotiate a contract and set a date for your first supervision session.
