Sarah Buxton

I offer a calm, supportive and confidential space to help you deal with all that life throws at you - without judgement or expectation.

I practice gestalt therapy, which is led by you. Talking is a big part of what we do but we can also be creative to increase awareness (usually awareness of how and where you feel stuck). I will work with whatever you bring. I won't tell you what to do. I won't judge you. I really understand that life is difficult at times.

Perhaps you are anxious and are overthinking everything. You may be experiencing loss. Or suffering guilt because you can't control your anger. Or you feel stuck or hopeless and are desperate for a good night's sleep. When you are suffering or struggling with difficult emotions, it can make such a difference to know you have some support. I will support you to work through your difficult thoughts and feelings, at a pace that suits you, in order to bring about positive change.

I have spent 25 years working as a solicitor in the City of London. I became a counsellor because talking about my experiences allowed me to get through some difficult times and to make sense of the thoughts whirling in my head. I hope this is what counselling could do for you. 

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Within my practice, I adhere to their code of ethics and professional guidelines.

I am committed to ongoing professional development, and am pursuing an MSc in Gestalt psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute to better support clients.

I work with adults in person and online. I offer a free 20 minute telephone call where we can talk about what you want from counselling. You can ask any questions you have and we can see if what I offer might be a good fit for you. Finding the right counsellor is vital as the relationship we build is based on trust to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and talk freely.
