About Me
Welcome to Just Breathe Counselling Services. Just a warm welcome message and some background information about myself.
About Me
Hello I’m Sarah. I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor.
I have extensive experience of working with young people in my role as a college lecturer for the past 15 years. I have also trained as a Cruse bereavement therapist working with clients experiencing grief and loss in addition to clients with anxiety, depression, and lack of self-worth. I have really benefitted from therapy and counselling at
different life stages myself, and have wide experience of providing an empathic, sensitive, warm approach to
support others at difficult stages in their lives having been a family member of somebody with severe mental
illness too. Within my Integrative practice, I work from a person-centred foundation, incorporating Psychodynamic,
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Humanistic approaches. My way of working is very much person-
focused and relational – coming from a place of compassion and care for everyone’s unique experience.
My aim is to provide a space that facilitates trust in which you can be listened to, have your feelings
validated and your voice heard while moving safely through the counselling process. I believe that you are
the expert on yourself, therefore I will work collaboratively to support you with compassion and
empathy. Life can sometimes be difficult and painful. Talking to someone who is not involved can really help. I offer a compassionate, warm, safe space for us to work together and at your pace, with whatever you choose to
bring. I will work alongside you, supporting and most importantly listening to your experience.
I am passionate about helping people make positive changes in their lives. I understand that coming to counselling can be daunting. I’ve had my own personal therapy, so I fully understand how difficult it is to talk to someone you don’t know, it’s all part of the process and I’m here to support that.
Aside from counselling, I balance all of this by spending time with my family, cuddling my dog, walking in nature and travelling to discover new places.
