Depressed? Anxious? Feel like you don't belong or fit in? Big changes in your personal or professional life? Feeling down? If any one of those resonate with you, I might be able to help. Seeking counselling can be difficult. I have hundreds of hours of experience of working with people who have depression, anxiety, issues with their identity as well as life or career changes. They want to understand why they feel the way they do and they want to feel better. Sometimes people don't know what they feel; they just know something isn't right.

At times, we all feel overwhelmed, uncertain or stuck, and have a sense that there is more out there and within us, to be discovered and brought to life, than we are engaging with. The aim of my therapy sessions is to enable you to get back in touch with yourself. To understand what is holding you back; how you can break the cycles of anxiety, monotony and the roles you feel you are stuck in. Whether you are sad, lonely, frustrated, uncertain, ashamed, guilty or confused, we can work together to support you through it so that you are not just surviving but thriving.

Through counselling I provide a space just for you where you can gain insight, experience change, and realise your full potential. You may be experiencing difficulties, such as a relationship breakdown, struggling with depression or anxiety, or feeling shame or low self-esteem. Perhaps you sense something hasn’t felt right for a while, but you are unable to pin point why. Counselling gives you time each week to slow down and can help you recognise your own feelings and needs, and develop deeper connections and relationships. Counselling allows you the opportunity and space to get in touch with who you are and what you want in life.

My name is Sarah and I have over 20 years experience working as a Psychotherapist in the NHS and in private practice. I specialise in CBT, ACT, Compassion focused approaches and in EMDR. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), includes a range of talking therapies, all based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, what we do, and how our bodies feel, are all connected. If we change one of these we can alter all the others. When we’re low or upset, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice thinking styles or unhelpful things that we do so we can live better.

Hello! I work in Clapham, Wimbledon and online. I believe that there are times in life when we need someone to turn to, who can help us make sense of things and cope with difficult feelings or situations. I'm here to offer that support. I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where my clients feel listened to and held, supporting the exploration of problems, challenges and feelings which may be difficult to talk about. At the heart of my practice is the belief that you have the inner resources to implement change. I am here to facilitate that through our work together.

I wonder what is worrying you and causing your suffering? What is keeping you stuck? Our past influences our present, and by exploring the past, we can often start to understand our present day struggles including that of anxiety, shame, anger, depression or feelings of helplessness, in a different more helpful way. We are all born with inherent wellness, but this is ‘clouded’ or obscured by our learned patterns of behaviour. Being Mindful/ Aware of our own ‘stuff' helps us work through and process the experiences that are affecting us. This process can help us to heal our suffering, re-engage in and transform our lives.

Anxiety can take many different forms: overwhelming worry, distressing intrusive thoughts/images, an excessive need to be "absolutely certain", obsessive doubts and self-criticism, to name just a few.

The good news is, however your anxiety presents itself, I can help you take back control and reclaim your life from anxiety. To learn more about me, visit my website emilygardner.co.uk
