How I work

I specialise in helping people whose past will not stay in the past — flashbacks, hypervigilance, or a constant feeling of being unsafe. Trauma responses are normal responses; they can also change.

I use EMDR and trauma-focused CBT within a carefully paced relationship. We never move faster than feels safe, and stabilisation always comes before processing.

I specialise in

Counsellors here name at most 5, so this is where Sarah focuses.

Who I'm not the right fit for

I do not begin trauma processing with anyone currently without stable support around them.

What happens in a first session

We start by talking about what has brought you here and what you would like to be different. You can ask me anything — about how I work, confidentiality, or fees. Nothing has to be decided in that first hour.

  • Step-free access
  • Hearing loop
Cancellations

Cancel or move a session free of charge with 48 hours' notice. Later than that, ask them directly — their terms are between you.

Breaks and holidays

Tell your counsellor as early as you can and your regular time is held for you — no charge for agreed breaks of up to three weeks.

Confidentiality

What you say stays between you, with the usual exceptions: risk of serious harm to you or someone else, or a legal requirement. Counsellors discuss their work in supervision without naming clients.

If something goes wrong

Tell your counsellor first if you can. You can also raise a concern with the platform, or complain directly to their professional register.

We check documents, not clinical practice. “Counsellor” and “psychotherapist” are not protected titles in the UK, so we verify membership of an accredited voluntary register (such as BACP, UKCP, NCPS, BABCP or BPC — or HCPC/BPS for psychologists) rather than a state licence. Badges are removed automatically if a registration lapses.
