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.

Speak in Confidence

Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with sensitivity, empathy, and without judgment. In the therapy space, thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.

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

Testimonials

“I would like to thank you very much for your help and understanding when I was at the most desperate state of my life and so alone. When I came to counselling, I had no expectations or idea what I wanted. I do not think I would have returned to my usual self without your help that has been welcoming, attentive and insightful. I now understand counselling is a journey, which has been exactly what I needed.

In the future, anyone who receives counselling from you will be well served.”

“When we started the journey, I had no idea where we would go. During our journey, we meandered to visit many places. Most places were where I needed to visit, but we visited some very unexpected places. As the hills towards the end of our journey came into view, I became fearful of the end. However, as we crest the hills, I can see a new journey starting as we part.”  – “Very ably assisted me in my transition to my new life.”

Andrew

“I just think it has been a fantastic experience – you have helped me through these months. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am, able to reflect and see things from a fresh perspective and make changes.”

Mark

“I was treading water.

I was thrown a life belt.

I became safe and secure in a lifeboat.

I was finally able to reach the shore.”

“I came into counselling a cynic, not knowing how talking could help me with my anxiety and panic attacks, but it has miraculously, thanks to you.”
