Hello, I’m Sarah, an accredited Counselling Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, and Coach with a warm and approachable style. Based near Exeter, just off junction 30, I also work with clients online across the UK and internationally, offering flexible support wherever you are.

With over 30 years’ experience working with individuals and relationships—including couples, family members, and work colleagues—I specialise in helping people navigate life’s challenges. These include trauma, anxiety, family issues, Tourette’s, military-related concerns, and the unique experiences of boarding school survivors. Whatever you’re facing, I provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings.

I also teach counselling and supervision, offering bespoke training and practice sessions tailored to your needs. Whether you’re a trainee or an experienced professional looking to develop your skills, I provide creative, engaging, and effective learning opportunities. My teaching experience gives me a unique style, particularly if you are a counselling student seeking support, as I understand the challenges and nuances of the learning journey.

My approach is pluralistic, integrative, and creative. I combine traditional talking therapies with innovative methods such as Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), EMDR, and Somatic Release. Together, we’ll discover the best path forward for you, empowering you to heal, grow, and thrive.

Let’s take the first step on this journey together—wherever you are in the world.
