Sarah Griffiths

I understand that taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted.

As a qualified Gestalt counsellor, I believe that everyone has their own unique experiences, challenges and strengths. My approach is warm, compassionate and collaborative, allowing us to work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Gestalt counselling focuses on developing self-awareness and exploring how our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and past experiences influence the way we experience life in the present. Rather than simply focusing on what’s happened, we can explore how those experiences may be affecting you in the here and now.

I won’t tell you what to do or offer quick fixes. Instead, I’ll support you in exploring your feelings, recognising patterns and discovering new perspectives that may help you move forward with greater understanding, confidence and self-acceptance.

I recognise that no two people are the same, so I tailor my approach to your individual needs. Our sessions may involve talking, gentle reflection or creative exploration, always guided by what feels right for you.

I currently offer online counselling for adults, providing a welcoming and supportive environment wherever you feel most comfortable.

I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation, giving us an opportunity to meet, discuss what brings you to counselling and explore whether working together feels right for you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes, simply having a space that’s just for you can be the beginning of meaningful change.

Welcome to Sarah’s Safe Space Counselling (SSS Counselling).

I offer a warm, welcoming and confidential space where you can take time for yourself, explore your thoughts and feelings, and feel truly heard without fear of judgement.

My private practice is built around the belief that everyone deserves to feel accepted, respected and supported, regardless of the challenges they may be facing.

I currently offer online counselling sessions for adults, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home or another suitable space where you feel safe and relaxed.

Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £50, with discounted rates available when booking a block of sessions.

I appreciate that finding the right counsellor is an important and personal decision. That’s why I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, share what you’re hoping to gain from counselling and get a feel for whether I’m the right therapist for you.

As a qualified Gestalt counsellor and BACP Registered Member, I am committed to providing an ethical, professional and compassionate service. I undertake regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development to support the quality of my work.

At Sarah’s Safe Space Counselling, you will be welcomed just as you are. There is no pressure to have all the answers or know exactly what you want to talk about. Together, we can create a space where you feel comfortable exploring whatever matters most to you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I understand that attending your first counselling session can feel a little daunting, particularly if you’ve never experienced therapy before. My aim is to help you feel as comfortable, relaxed and supported as possible from the very beginning.

Before booking your first session, I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation. This gives us the opportunity to introduce ourselves, discuss what has brought you to counselling and explore whether working together feels right for you.

Prior to our first session, I’ll send you a counselling agreement and client information form to complete. This gives you time to familiarise yourself with how I work, including confidentiality and its limits. We’ll briefly revisit these together during our first appointment to ensure everything is clear and answer any questions you may have.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know each other and gently explore what has brought you to counselling and what you might hope to gain from our time together.

As a Gestalt counsellor, I place great importance on developing a genuine, trusting therapeutic relationship. There is no pressure to share anything you’re not ready to discuss, and we’ll always work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

You don’t need to prepare anything beyond your initial paperwork or have the right words ready. Simply come as you are.

Your first full session lasts 50 minutes and costs £50, the same as subsequent individual sessions. Discounted rates are also available when booking multiple sessions, which we can discuss together if this is something you'd like to explore.

Most importantly, this is your space, where you can feel heard, accepted and supported without judgement.
