Integrative Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing. It provides an opportunity to slow down, reflect and develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, relationships and patterns of behaviour.

At times, we can feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck without fully understanding why. Our past experiences, relationships and ways of coping can shape how we see ourselves, relate to others and respond to situations today. Sometimes these patterns continue long after the original experience has passed, influencing our feelings and behaviour without us fully recognising why. Psychotherapy can help you gently explore these connections, make sense of what you are experiencing and begin to develop new perspectives and choices.

As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than following one fixed model. This allows me to tailor therapy to your individual circumstances, needs and goals. Our work may focus on current difficulties, past experiences, relationships, emotional wellbeing or patterns that you would like to change.

Therapy can be short- or longer-term, depending on what you need and hope to achieve. We will work collaboratively, building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, compassion and respect. My aim is to help you feel heard and understood, while supporting you to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and practical ways of managing life’s challenges.

Psychotherapy is not about telling you what to do. It is about creating the space to understand yourself more fully, explore what may be keeping you stuck, and find a way forward that feels meaningful and right for you.


There are four main principles of NLP which are used to bring about self development, choice and change.

The first, ‘rapport’, comprises of mutual trust and responsiveness. It can be applied to the relationship that we have with our selves and with others. The quality of rapport we have with ourselves is often a mirror of what we achieve with others.

The second principle is, ‘knowing what we want’. In order to understand what success is we need to know what it is that we want. This is known as setting your ‘goal of outcome’. We learn to consistently ask our selves what we want and to ask others what they want.

The third principle is called ‘sensory acuity’. This means using our senses. To really look, listen and feel what is happening. This gives us valuable information, helps us to know if we are on the right course to our goals and whether any changes need to be made.

The fourth principle is ‘behaviour flexibility’. We have many choices of action. The more choices we have the more chance of success. It is important to keep changing what we do until we get what we want. This sounds simple, even obvious, yet we often do exactly the opposite.

As well as working with the four principles, NLP sessions offer a wide range of effective tools and valuable insights, all designed to increase our understanding of ourselves, what it is that we want, and how to achieve our goals. Techniques are used in sport, business, training, sales, law and education. NLP is more then a collection of tools. 

NLP is a way of thinking, a frame of mind, a way of being.




What my Client's say about me

  • From the moment you walk into the room you feel the warmth of Sarah’s personality. She is very good at assessing how to help you and does it with gentle steps. She has been an enormous help and encouragement to me as we have worked together on my phobia and OCD. I recommend her very highly indeed.

  • Over the years, in our sessions there were many tears, laughter and so many aha moments, where I had gradually began to see the light again, my wounded heart could open a little more and my mind could turn that corner, to see things a little differently.

  • Sarah helped me to stop smoking with hypnotherapy. I still see her from time to time for anxiety. 
    I am still a none smoker!

  • I came to Sarah for CBT. I’d been signed off from work and had some serious stress issues. Sarah listened and helped me to make sense of the confusion I was feeling. She also taught me ways to help myself. I feel strong and in control now.

  • I was unimaginably fortunate to have met Sarah after I had lost my mother to cancer. I was in excrutiating emotional pain. Swaying daily between anxiety, depression guilt, deep despair and insomnia. I really couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, my world as I had known it had collapsed. On reflection I remember that I had almost crawled into Sarah’s room seeking some relief from my pain
