Welcome
Hello. My name is Sally, and as an individual and couples counsellor, I'm an empathetic and caring individual. I am passionate about counselling and connecting with people on a deeper level. I understand that seeking help can be daunting, so I'll do my very best to make you feel comfortable and at ease.
It isn’t easy being a human being, and I believe that we benefit from treating ourselves with kindness. Through personal experience, I've learned to take time for myself and appreciate the beauty of nature. I appreciate all seasons, and especially the sunshine which seems to energise me. I hope to inspire you to be kind to yourself and find joy in the little things in life.
I am interested in you and want to gain an understanding of what it may feel like to live your life. I seek to build a confidential and trusting therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe enough to explore the difficulties which you may be experiencing. With a greater understanding of yourself, you can feel more confident to take positive steps towards a more meaningful and contented way of living.
We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.

A problem shared ...
Trouble with a relationship, anxiety or panic attacks, mood swings or depression - many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Counselling gives us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems - and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.
Make better, healthier new choices
Working together I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, heathier choices moving forward.
Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others.
- Christopher Germer
