Sarah Laird

Current availability: Mondays 10:00 - 16:00

Hello, my name is Sarah Laird. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with BACP. My main modality is Transactional Analysis (TA) and I also work with other theories such as body psychotherapy, ecotherapy, and others. I currently have a private practice where I provide face-to-face therapy both indoors and outdoors (and a combination of the two) to adult individuals in the Liverpool area. 

What happens to us in our lives can sometimes disconnect us from ourselves, others, and the world. For me, relationship is key to restoring that connection - this is how we heal from our traumas, our pains, our dissatisfactions. As such, I consider that establishing a therapeutic relationship is fundamental to the healing process.

Safety is also vital to healing. If we do not feel safe, we cannot reveal our true selves, so identifying and establishing cues of safety will be a big part of our work together.

I am a member of UKATA and BACP and abide by their code of ethics and professional practice. A requirement of BACP and UKATA is that I have regular supervision and that I have myself been in therapy. This is for your safety and improves my effectiveness.

I offer a free half hour telephone consultation where we can discuss what you would like from therapy, how I work as a therapist, and how we could work together. If you would like to have a session with me, I will send you an assessment form and contract with some other information and arrange our first face-to-face session together.
