Sara Lugard

Hello, my name is Sara. I believe that human beings just want to be happy and at ease with themselves and their environment - I know I do! Yet there are times when this seems to elude us, causing difficulties in our personal and professional relationships.

Sometimes we are able to resolve these difficulties ourselves or with the support of friends and family. However, for times when this process is not sufficient or possible, the therapeutic relationship counselling offers can be a positive and helpful experience. Being with someone who will listen and hear you without judgement can be therapy in its self.

As a Gestalt Therapist I believe that you are your own expert; you have the answers. The confidential space and non-judgemental approach that counselling offers can help you find them.

I will work with you to help identify negative and dysfunctional repeating patterns of behaviour which maybe stopping you from moving forward and enjoying a happy and fulfilling life.

Change only occurs when something changes. Counselling can be the catalyst for that change. 

I am a fully qualified Humanistic Gestalt Counsellor based in Hampshire and a registered member of the BACP. I offer individual counselling sessions to adults (18+) either face-to-face, online or telephone.

I have experience of working with clients who have issues such as anxiety, bereavement, depression, loss, relationship issues, stress, trauma and work related issues. I am pragmatic and creatively tailor my approach to suit my client.

For face-2-face appointments my practice is based in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, with ample free parking and within easy access to Winchester, Eastleigh, Southampton and Romsey.

I am DBS checked, fully insured and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.

For online or telephone appointments I have availability on either Mondays or Wednesdays during the day or early evening.  For face-2-face appointments I have availability on Thursdays or Fridays during the day or early evening.

The most important aspect of counselling is the relationship between client & counsellor so it is important you find the right counsellor for you; to this end I offer an initial 15 minute meeting via telephone or online, which is non-chargeable. It is an opportunity for us to meet and for you to gauge whether you would feel comfortable working with me and for me to ensure that I have the competency to work with the issues you bring.
