I imagine that you have found yourself on my profile from getting to a place where you've said 'I need a therapist'. You may also have recognized other parts of your life experience that require the attention of a professional. I am Sade and I aim to support you with those emotional, psychological and life's difficulties. I also realize that not everyone has a main 'problem' as such. We sometimes simply want to understand ourselves better, figure out how we end up in the situations we keep finding ourselves and explore our feelings discreetly without judgement. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy at this time, I welcome you.

When we are tired of feeling sick and tired, that feeling, is an invitation, a need surfacing. Perhaps you are always giving your time and energy to others and have not much left in the tank for yourself. Perhaps you have been coping with pressures in ways that made sense before, but are now not helpful. Perhaps you want more in recovery? Therapy offers space for you, to explore difficulties, to come to terms with life's painful events, to overcome shame and heal wounds. I provide an affirming, restorative space for healing, reflection, conscious choices, expressing your values and fostering a life more hopeful, more meaningful.

Overcome your Past & Fears, Find Self-Compassion & Resilance, and Flourish. If you're wrestling with a negative inner voice or baggage from your past, I understand. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what real joy or feeling safe is like? Or there's something you just can't seem to get past or a project you can't master? The search for a meaningful and fulfilling life isn't easy and it’s not your fault. It’s because you have a tricky human brain with a sensitive threat system, which can tie you up in knots trying to cope.

I believe that everyone has the ability to find answers within themselves. My practice is characterised by creativity, utilising techniques such as sand tray work, art, fairy tales, and metaphors. Importantly, you don’t need to be an artist to engage in this creative process. I will offer a warm friendly space, a comfy sofa and a cuppa for you to relax, so if talking is your thing, then we can do that too. There is no pressure to be creative in our sessions, its just another way of expressing and exploring our feelings. I specialise in working with children and young people as well as adults.

Sometimes life can be really difficult. Are you feeling totally overwhelmed with anxiety? Do you feel like you're stuck in a black hole and can't find a way out? Perhaps something has happened in your life which feels too difficult to manage on your own... relationship troubles, family breakdowns, the death of a loved one... you might not be able to put your finger on what is causing you to feel this way. Maybe speaking to someone totally independent of the situation would help?

I believe we are all susceptible, at some point in our lives, to feeling overwhelmed by what life can bring. Sometimes we encounter experiences that are hard for us to come to terms with leaving us in need of support, this may be in the form of a bereavement, a relationship breakdown, a job loss; any event that we struggle to comprehend and understand. Other times a series of events may have taken place that leave us feeling like we are walking under a big black cloud and fail to see a way forward. At times like this counselling can help.

Maybe you had a difficult childhood, suffered neglect, abuse, bullying. Perhaps life became challenging later on. Trauma is a subjective experience, if something upset you at any point then you may be still living with the impact of the trauma. There may be multiple traumatic events in your life which you have been unable to process. Subsequent traumatic events will add to your distress. Untreated trauma inevitably manifests itself as anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions. If you would like to make sense of your life and repair the damage caused by your past then EMDR provides the most humane & effective treatment.

Peace of mind and contentment are possible, no matter what circumstances life has thrown at you. It is not always about changing what is happening - that can often be beyond our control. But it is possible to change our relationship with the events and people in our lives.

Being human isn't always easy. We all have times when we can feel overwhelmed by life, whether through trauma, loss and bereavement, anxiety or depression or many other issues, and this can lead us to feeling stuck. Whether you are seeking help for a specific short-term issue or whether you want to work longer term on deep rooted issues, counselling can really help. Talking things through may help you to look at things through a different perspective so that the thoughts and feelings that were overwhelming begin to feel more manageable.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
