About me and my therapy practice

Hello, my name is Sarah Laird and I am a therapist based in Liverpool. I work with adult individuals and couples. I trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) and work ecologically. Sessions are held outdoors (weather permitting), visiting various green spaces around the south of Liverpool and in an allotment space in the Toxteth area.

Practice description

What happens in our lives can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world. Within us, we know that something doesn’t feel right yet we are not quite sure what it is. Having the ecological as the foundation of my practice means that relationship is restored not only within ourselves and with other humans but with the earth herself. It is an acknowledgement of the interdependence all beings share. We learn about our own psychological processes from the emerging relationship between the earth and our moving, sensing, breathing bodies. Earth is the co-therapist.

I have had personal therapy for my own healing and growth and it formed part of my four-year training in psychotherapy. This experience provided me with sufficient self-awareness of my own processes to be able to hold both myself and a client in the therapeutic process.

I am a member of BACP, UKCP, and UKATA. I abide by their code of ethics and professional practice. A requirement of these governing bodies is that I have regular supervision. This is both for your safety and improves my effectiveness.
