Well Water Counselling
About Me
I am Sarah (she/her) and I am a qualified, registered counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I also hold graduate membership with the British Psychological Society (BPS).
I understand just how hard it can be to reach out for support when life is 'life-ing'. Often we focus so much on everything else, we don't give ourselves the opportunity or resources to slow down and really get in contact with how we are really doing.
How I work
I offer counselling through a trauma-informed, person-centred approach, working with you at your own pace to create a safe and supportive space.
My focus is on building a genuine connection, so we can explore whatever comes up in a way that feels right for you. Therapy is about understanding your unique experience, not fitting it into predefined ideas of how it "should" be. I am here to listen, understand, and work alongside you as we navigate your journey together.
My Background
Before becoming a counsellor, I gained a wide range of experience working in social care settings, including learning disabilities, community care, and supporting older adults, always with a focus on empowerment and independent choice. Since 2018, I have worked exclusively in mental health, first in a private trauma clinic and then within the NHS since 2019.
