ABOUT ME

My name is Sarah and I am a psychotherapist.  I was previously a lawyer for many years in London and the South East before taking time to raise my three children in Dorset.  During this time I also had extensive experience of a boarding school setting in a pastoral and managerial capacity.  From 2005, I embarked on counselling training and I then spent some years working as a practitioner with people struggling with addiction.  I did this in both the Probation Service and the charity sector.  In 2013 I moved with my husband and children to Lincolnshire.  Since then I have worked as a recovery practitioner for the NHS in a prison. I also obtained a Master’s degree and clinical qualification in Psychotherapy from The Sherwood Institute in Nottingham.  During that time I specialised in supporting men, women and children who were survivors of sexual abuse and assault, including childhood trauma.  Most recently I have worked as a lead counsellor in the charity sector and also as a psychotherapist for students at Birmingham University (BACP accredited).  I am now working in private practice with individuals, couples and other relationships.  I am also qualified  in clinical supervision to be able to provide support for therapists and other professionals.
