Therapy with me can be short or long term and is always tailored to what you feel you need. From my many years experience of working with children and parents, I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to my work and believe that understanding and healing can happen in a safe and supportive environment.
Working integratively, I use a range of modalities to tailor my work to best help you explore your experiences and struggles in life. I place huge importance on the quality of our client/therapist relationship as that has been found to be most effective in bringing about positive therapeutic outcomes so my approach is one of warmth and collaboration within a trusting space which will allow us to explore those aspects of your life which you are struggling with.
Therapy will focus on building your strengths and exploring your resources which will help you to meet life's challenges with resilience and confidence, empowering you to navigate obstacles with clarity and strength.
I am dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges that are impacting your well-being and incorporate creative approaches into our work to facilitate the exploration of thoughts and emotions. I will support you in gaining a deeper understanding of how past experiences, particularly from your childhood, may impact your day-to-day life thereby helping you to experience valuable personal insights and growth.
Is your child struggling with the pressures of school, peers or life in general? It is sometimes difficult to take the first step in finding a therapist for your child. As parents we often think we are often to blame for our children’s struggles. In the world we all live in now with all the pressures from social media, school or their friends, our children’s lives are fraught with challenges. Sometimes children need that safe, confidential space where they can say what they like and be free to explore their thoughts without any fear of hurting someone’s feelings or, more often than not, causing worry for their parents. With the help of play and creative therapies, a child can express himself often non-verbally and in a non-judgemental space which allows them to piece together all the aspects of their lives which are often confusing and difficult. Working with your child will be collaborative and while your child will have the confidential and safe space to explore whatever he or she wishes, I will have regular sessions with you as parents to find out how you think things are going and to review the work. The contents of the sessions will of course remain confidential but if there are any safeguarding issues then I will of course let you know, having first discussed this with your child. If this is something that interests you, book an initial session with me to talk about what your child needs and we can then arrange the sessions going forward.
I am committed to delivering personalised reflective parenting sessions tailored to the unique dynamics of every family. I focus on fostering a collaborative environment that encourages openness, and we will explore the connections between you and your child.
The sessions offer a reflective space where you can think about the behaviour of your child, gain an understanding of the internal reasons for their behaviour and explore different ways you can respond to your child
'We had some reflective parenting sessions with Sarah. She was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and compassionate throughout and she created a safe space from the outset for us to explore some of the challenges we were facing together. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to others’ Anonymous, 2024
I specialise in reflective parenting which supports the connection or development of a healthy connection between parent and child. The purpose of these sessions will be to reflect on your child’s behaviour, gain an understanding of internal reasons for the behaviour and reflect together on ways you can respond helpfully to your child. Reflective parenting offers a space for a parent or parents to think about their child without being judged and enables parents to be helpfully responsive rather than reactive to their child’s struggles.
