There is space for new clients currently

Online - Monday afternoons

In Person - Tuesday afternoon and early evening, or Wednesday afternoon

I work from two locations - one of which is wheelchair accessible and has parking on the street just outside.

If you have any questions about access to either of my counselling rooms, you would be very welcome to get in touch.

Hi, I’m Sarah, I offer in person sessions in Cardiff and online sessions for clients based anywhere in the UK. Our sessions will be a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace which feels right for you. I have a warm, relational approach through which we will work together to bring fuller understanding of yourself and your life. I will support you to navigate the parts of life which you’ve found difficult to face and move through on your own.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, low or numb, perhaps you have lost a relationship or something important to you and you don’t know how to go forward or feel like life is moving too fast, I am ready to listen to you with understanding and openness.

Starting therapy can feel daunting but you don’t have to face what you’re going through alone. Reach out to me to find out more and ask any questions you may have.

I am a BACP registered integrative psychotherapist and counsellor which means you know you’re in good hands with a therapist who’s part of a professional body.

Whatever your background and identity you can be sure of a safe and welcoming space.

Working with the past, in the present

I have experience in working with clients who are trying to make sense of how their past is affecting their present. Perhaps you know that something in your childhood is still impacting you and you want to understand it more? Perhaps there's a change you would like to make but you feel stuck in old patterns? Let's work through it together and find a way forward.

Spiritual or Religious Abuse

I also work with clients who are recovering from spiritual or religious abuse. The impact of this kind of abuse is often overlooked but I understand the deep lasting effect it can have. Perhaps you've been harmed by a religious organisation or through spirituality by someone close to you? We can work through the effects of this together.

Most of my sessions take place in person, on Whitchurch Road in the Gabalfa area of Cardiff. Meeting face to face allows you the chance to step away from your everyday life to a calm and cosy setting for your sessions. It gives you the time and space to press pause and talk things through.

If in person sessions don't work for you, I also offer online sessions via Google Meet. You don't need an account for this, you can join easily via a link.

For online sessions, you will need to join from a confidential space where you can talk freely without being overheard or interrupted.

The first session can be daunting, it's normal to feel a little nervous! However, you'll be able to ask any questions you need to and we can talk about what you need to feel comfortable.

There is no pressure to go into details in the first session which you don't feel ready to talk about. We will go at a pace which is right for you.

During the session, we might talk about what you're hoping to gain from your sessions and why you're seeking counselling at the moment.
