Psychotherapy with Sarah

Psychotherapy offers you an opportunity for you to be listened to in such a way that you can learn new things about yourself or clear blocks that have stood in your way for years.

It is not about offering you advice or about offering you solutions, because you are the expert on yourself,  It is about exploring why you are experiencing what you are, and giving you space to question who you are and who you want to be.

In order for you to feel safe and open in the room we need to feel we will work well together and so I offer a 15 minute introductory session, Email me at Sarah.nurse@proton.me or call or text me on 07971509507 if you would like to arrange one.

My school of training is called Integrative Transpersonal therapy. What this means in practice is that I'm able to draw on a number of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis (TA) and CBT, whilst remaining open to the spiritual or energetic aspect of a person's experience (that's the 'trans' in transpersonal). The body and mind are found to be intimately connected in this approach - as Bessel van der Kolk said, 'The Body Keeps the Score’ - so life experience and trauma, as it relates to the body as well as to the mind, can form a part of someone’s work.

How all or any of these approaches combine depends entirely on each person. What hurts or what matters leads the way.  I have worked with clients with a range of issues, depression, anxiety, addictions, self harm and suicidal thoughts, PTSD and complex trauma's.

Before training as a psychotherapist I worked in industry as a chartered accountant for a number of decades at Board level and I also offer executive coaching based on that experience.
