about

I’m Sarah, a UKCP registered integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor offering counselling to adults from my practice in Needham Market, Suffolk, and online across the UK.

​

Sometimes life can feel difficult or overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood or self-esteem, navigating a period of change, loss or uncertainty, or simply feel that something isn’t quite right.

 

Perhaps you find yourself in relationships or situations that leave you questioning yourself, or notice the same patterns appearing again and again. You may know that you want something to change but feel unsure about where to begin.

​

Whatever has brought you here, you don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling.

​

Relationships, attachment and emotional abuse

I have a particular professional interest in supporting people who have experienced emotionally abusive, narcissistic, coercive or manipulative relationships.

​

These experiences can leave you questioning your own judgement, feelings and memories, and perhaps feeling as though you have lost a sense of yourself along the way. These feelings can continue even after the relationship itself has ended.

​

Counselling can give you the space to make sense of what has happened, understand the impact it has had on you and begin rebuilding trust in yourself.

​

My approach is less about diagnosing or labelling another person and more about understanding your experience, the relational dynamics involved and what you need in order to move forward.

​

I also have a strong interest in relationships and attachment patterns. You may want to understand why certain situations affect you so strongly, why you withdraw, become anxious or avoid difficult conversations, or why similar difficulties seem to recur in your relationships.

​

You may also recognise patterns in your own behaviour that you would like to understand or change. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgement, helping you develop greater awareness of your emotional needs and responses and more choice in how you relate to others.​
