About me
Are you looking for a space in which you can feel understood and valued without fear of judgement or criticism? Holding Space Counselling and Psychotherapy offers exactly that, with therapeutic support and intervention for a variety of different issues and mental health concerns. I’m Sarah, a fully qualified Person-Centred & Experiential therapist that has worked with people from many walks of life and with different mental health concerns.
What I Can Offer You
Clients coming to a session with me can expect a non-judgmental, warm and genuine connection that has them and their experience at the heart of our work. Therapy is an excellent place to process and let go of difficult experiences, explore parts of ourselves we are unhappy with and/or to support us in reaching our full potential. My approach to therapy is to support clients in finding the answers to the questions they seek from themselves, rather than being told what to do or made to feel like they have to fix something. Instead, providing an environment that is accepting and collaborative in working towards potential resolutions or solutions can be a lot more effective. I am keen to work in a way that suits your needs and believe in collaboration; this would be discussed throughout sessions.
Throughout sessions I provide clients with a space that holds and tentatively challenges them, allowing them to understand their story and experiences through a different lens and occasionally brings in psychoeducation or psychology. Additionally, exploring inner conflict and the different voices/selves we have inside of us is also a big part of my work with clients.
My education is within Psychology and Psychotherapy, meaning I have the understanding and training to help you explore and work through your emotions and experiences, as well as having an knowledge of the impacts of physiology, development and behaviour can have on mental health.
Therapy can be a wonderful tool for change and to connect to who we are. Whether you are looking to change your life or to understand yourself more, I would love to join you on that journey.
Working Patterns and Delivery of Sessions
I am currently working online via video, audio and messaging. Please note I do not offer messaging in place of sessions as I personally don't feel messaging without clear structure or boundaries is therapuetically effective for clients. I offer messaging but only in the form of live messaging sessions.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
