About me and my therapy practice

Hi, My name is Sarah Casamassima I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and qualified supervisor Located in LS14.

I'm professionally qualified to a Master’s level and Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I have a Diploma in Supervision from the Leeds Centre for Psychological Development and work on a one to one basis in a collaborative, supportive and challenging manner to develop practice and personal development of both trainee and qualified counsellors.

I chose counselling as a career after receiving counselling myself following an unexpected health issue in my life. This has helped me to understand the process from a client’s point of view as well as wanting to be able to provide that support for others.

There are numerous advantages of accessing counselling are as wide-ranging as they are long-lasting. Offering a range of benefits, counselling can bring a sense of clarity to the mind and an improved sense of direction too. In the long term, counselling can help to build resilience, help to or-ganise your thoughts and feelings as well as work through past trauma re-duce anxiety and support through the grief and bereavement process.

I have been working in counselling for six years with specific experience with anxiety, depression, bereavement, and trauma. I work with adults, couples, children and young people in an integrative way and have undertaken training in both cbt and solution focused therapy which combined with my previous training in person centered, systemic, psychodynamic and humanistic means that i can adapt to my clients need. I am able to provide both long and short term work depending on what is appropriate and needed by the client.

I have also have extensive experience with working with children and young people within school settings, face to face and via zoom (10+ years) ..

Practice description

I have worked in multiple settings in an integrative way with adults, children and young people.
