Sara Rolando

Hello,

I am Sara. I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist based in central London, offering face-to-face and online sessions.

Sometimes life as a sensible human being can become a tough journey, leaving you feeling lost and low. Whether you are facing a persistent, tiny matter that doesn't seem to resolve or feeling a sense of being stuck, trapped in romantic relationships, grappling with anxiety and loneliness, therapy can help you delve into these feelings. 

As a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I will sit with you in these moments. Sit without trying to change, fix, or rescue.

I would create a safe space where your unique experiences can be observed and attentively listened to. Together, we will trace the patterns of your early life and gain insight into the interweaves of your past and present, wishes and conflicts, behaviors and impulses. 

This exploration will equip you to unravel all the strands and let you discover greater freedom in life.

Times to time we just need a space. A space that is ours, a space where we exist. A space where we can just be.

I compare my Practice to "Human Mind Archeology"; a remarkable time to explore how your symptoms and suffering of the present are shaped by your life history and unconscious mind.

I trained at the University of London, a respected Institute for therapists. I hold a BA Degree in Psychosocial Studies and an MSc Degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy accredited by BACP.

My approach is guided by a decade of experience in the field of mental health support. As well as my psychotherapeutic practice, I have worked with adults and young people in social care settings.

I offer 50-minute sessions, scheduled on a weekly regular basis.

My sessions can be either on a short or long-term contract. We will arrange this depending on what your needs are.

If therapy is something you might think of, feel free to contact me.

At the beginning, I provide a complimentary phone consultation of 20 minutes to briefly get to know what you need help with and for you to ask any questions about the therapy process.

We will then arrange an assessment of 90 minutes: a chance for us to introduce ourselves, find what brings you to therapy, and define what you would like to get out of it. This will assist us in deciding if we align well together and help me to see if I am in a position to help.

If we were to work together, we would agree on a time that works for both of us and meet for the first session.

I work with a broad range of life issues including relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and addictions. My specialties are working among difficulties faced by LGBTQ+ Communities, and supporting people presenting neurodiversity and learning disabilities. I work in a confidential space free from judgments, embodied with curiosity, empathy, and insight.
