Sarah is a dual qualified Psychotherapist and Osteopath and grounds her ethos in the equal importance of your body, mind, and spirit in your well-being. Her holistic approach is strongly influenced by Somatic Psychotherapy and supported by her Osteopathic knowledge and expertise. Therapeutic modalities range from Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy, Contemporary Psychodynamic Therapy, and Creative Arts Therapy. Sarah's trauma-informed person-centred approach establishes a safe space before delving into your concerns. She enjoys the privilege of helping people find their innermost happiness and live life authentically.
Sarah supports people with psychosomatic presentations, chronic pain management, medically unexplained symptoms, and general mental health care. This includes low mood, anxious presentations, stress, childhood trauma, and poor self-esteem/low self-worth. Sarah has a particular interest in working with people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Therapy is tailored to your needs with an integrative approach of Cognitive, Existential, and Somatic therapies. She offers a proactive and evidence-informed dual mind-body care. If you are unsure where to start, contact Sarah for a 15-minute phone call to see if you are aligned to work together.

My approach has an emphasis on embodiment through nervous system regulation, and helping you to integrate the parts of you that need attention (ie Inner Child work for Childhood Trauma, or finding safety in your mind and body). For some, this requires creative and meditative therapy, and others require a more cognitive approach. We work together to find the best therapy approach for you.
