Village
Canterbury

Hi... It's nice to have you here...
I remember when I first reached out for counselling help, it was one of the scariest things I had to do. Therefore, if you are feeling a little (or a lot) daunted or worried about the next step, I am here to tell you that it is totally understandable and you are not alone! I can be here to help and guide you through your choices at your own pace.

About Me...
I think of all the things I would want in my counsellor and I try to mirror these with my clients. I aim to be curious, kind, honest, warm and most importantly, I want you to feel you have a real human being supporting you by your side.
My name is Sarah (she/her), and I live in one of the pretty villages outside of Canterbury (UK). From here I offer counselling sessions either face-to-face or online/remote via Zoom. This is also the base from where I begin and end walk and talk sessions in the warmer months.
You can find out more about me, including my experience, training and qualifications, here.


How can I help you?
I want to dispel the myth that counsellors are perfect people that have everything together in life. -We don't! So why do I point this out to you? Because when you are feeling low, worried, anxious or vulnerable, you want support from a human being who can relate to how you are feeling. I get that, and I can genuinely say to you, without judgement: "It's OK that you don't feel OK, and I am here to listen to all you have to tell me, no matter how bad you think it is." Of course, I am qualified to support you, and of course I am registered to work in a professional, ethical and safe way. However, I feel that I offer a very down to earth approach to counselling. I do this because when your mental health isn't where you would like it to be, it is scary to reach out to a stranger when you need support.
You can find out more about the therapy I offer and the type of issues I have had experience of counselling here.
So you like what you hear, do you want to take the next step?
I get it, you have got to this part and are probably thinking how are you possibly going to share very personal things about yourself to a complete stranger? I offer a free and friendly chat over the phone. From this, I hope you will feel safe and supported, and listened to in a warm and non-judgemental way. You can use this time to see if you think I will be a good fit for you, and if you think you would benefit from counselling from me, with absolutely no obligation to proceed.​ Further information can be found at the bottom of the page, or find out more here. ​
