Hello, my name is Sarah.

I am a person -centred counsellor and I work in a non-judgemental, non-prescriptive way.

Being unseen and unheard can be isolating and I am here to help you as you explore whilst giving you empathy, and a genuineness in my practise.

Coming to your first session may seem like a hurdle, but it’s the first step in your personal growth. That is why I offer a complementary phone session before agreeing to work together.

I believe everyone has the ability to lead a balanced life. Whether facing changes in your everyday, feeling at a crossroads, or just wanting to understand yourself then I can support you with these challenges.

I allow you time and space to explore your feelings thoughts and emotions and together we can help you understand yourself. Its not all talk, I like to work creatively to offer a space where you as the client can express yourself when the words just won’t come.

I have experience in working with clients with a variety of issues, from a change in situation or circumstance, anxiety, loss or just wanting to discover yourself, to mild mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression.

I also have experience supporting clients experiencing menopause and domestic abuse.

I have experience working with young people. 

I can offer counselling form ages 16 upwards.

I work as a Therapist in a person centred way. 

This means I accept you ,the client as the expert on yourself. You have control of what you want to share and work on each session.

This approach is a talking therapy, but I will also include creative work if this helps when words aren't enough. I don't give you "homework"!

I offer you a space to explore your thoughts feelings and experiences in a non judgemental space at your pace.

We regularly review your progress and explore areas that you want to focus on.

I offer both face to face and online sessions.

The face to face sessions are held in Swindon's Old Town.

If this is something you feel would be helpful, please contact me at:

I offer an initial free phone session, to get to know about you, your needs and to make sure we both feel safe working together.

It involves a simple assessment about your personal wellbeing and any relevant medical or mental health concerns. 

This gives us space to understand what you would like from counselling and ask any questions you may have.

All information is confidential.

These sessions last around twenty minutes.
