About Me
My name is Sarah (she/her), and I live in one of the tranquil villages outside of Canterbury, Kent (UK).
I want to dispel the myth that therapists are people that know it all and have perfect lives.... We don't! So why do I want to point this out to you? Of course, I am qualified to support you, and of course I am registered to work in a professional, ethical and safe way. However, 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. I will be the counsellor who genuinely says 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."

Me!
​I have had experience of working with adult clients with a range of mental health issues, as well as being a listener at a national charity for perinatal mental health issues (for example, post-natal depression (PND) suffered in both mums and dads). To find out about the type of counselling and therapy I offer, please click here.
I also offer a free and friendly chat over the phone and 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 please click here.
