Welcome to Forwards Counselling
My name is Sarah and I am a Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor and Specialist Mental Health Mentor. I am committed to providing Integrative/Pluralistic counselling and psychotherapy. This includes Person Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), working together in a safe, and confidential environment. I am here to listen to you and you will be free to express yourself without fear of judgement or criticism. Through the process of counselling, together we will find ways of working through your present feelings and thoughts, which will enable you to move forwards in a more positive, happier and rewarding way.
If you are feeling isolated and alone in your thoughts it may help to reach out to a Counsellor. Your relationship with others may be affected or suffering. If it would help to have someone to listen to you, someone who won't judge you - I am here for you.
You may be feeling at a crossroads in your life - perhaps, overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or depression. You may have some worries, be feeling lonely, confused, unheard or your self-esteem is low and affecting your confidence. It may be hard to see clearly through your present thoughts and feelings and this can make it difficult to envisage the way forward.
As a Counsellor I am experienced in helping clients who are having difficulties and concerns including:- Depression - Anxiety - Stress - Panic Attacks - Low Self-Esteem - Loneliness - Isolation - Lack of Self Confidence - Gender Confusion - Work, School, College or University Worries - Marital, Relationship or Family Difficulties - Loss - Abuse - Worry - Bereavement - Bullying - Post-Natal Depression - Menopause -
My clients are Individuals, Couples, Families, Teenagers and Young People. I am passionate and committed to helping you find a more positive way forward through your difficulties and worries, anxiety and depression. Some clients prefer to engage by talking, others find it easier to express their feelings through creative working or using helpful tools such as CBT worksheets.
I am genuine, warm, open, caring, compassionate, honest and non-judgemental. I understand how daunting it can be to take that first huge step to seek counselling and therapy, but once we meet, I hope to alleviate your fears and anxiety by putting you at ease so that you will feel that you are in a safe place where you will be heard. Each client brings their own unique experiences, concerns, anxieties, worries, hopes, fears, wishes and goals.
The aim of Counselling is to enable you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. By working with me as your Counsellor,
together we will discover the tools and strategies to achieve this.

The purpose of Supervision is to work collaboratively to develop a Counsellor's professional and personal development. By working with me as your Supervisor you will be confident in the knowledge that I am committed to supporting you and your clients. You may find it helpful to have group supervision with your peers, providing new perspectives and shared goals. I am also qualified to work with you online and within the ethical guidelines and framework of the BACP and NCS.
