In-person and online counselling, psychotherapy and emotional support services

Client Feedback

  • “I have been seeing Sally for a number of years now and it is the most important thing I have ever gifted myself.  I had a significant amount of childhood and early years trauma that was keeping me trapped in a negative cycle of life choices.  Sally’s time and care helped me evolve from other people’s interpretations of me and become confident and proud in myself. 

    Whilst I was seeing Sally I was also diagnosed with advanced breast cancer and Sally became a key person in my support team helping me with the emotional care that I needed at that time.  My time with her helped me talk through some very difficult moments openly, and her kind, gentle, considered and sometimes humorous approach was perfect for me

    I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.  She is highly trained, professional and simply lovely”. 

    Female, age 48

  • “I have been visiting Sally for a number of years and I would highly recommend her! Sally has helped me better understand myself and how to handle and cope with certain experiences I have had, this has most certainly helped me in all aspects of my life.  Sally is also probably one of the very few people who 'gets me' and understands how I think and she has helped me many times reframe something and enables me to consider different aspects or options and thus a different perspective" 

    Male, age 51

  • “Sally is a brilliant counsellor.  From the outset she has approached every one of our sessions with a level of wisdom, compassion and empathy that sets her apart.  I cannot overstate how much her support has meant to me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her”. 

    Female, age 50

  • “Since I started my counselling with Sally, I have felt supported through my journey and found a version of myself that has been lost for some time.  Knowing you have someone who can help you work through your thoughts without being told how to feel is really important and enabled me to be the best version of myself again”. 

    Female, age 44

  • “Counselling with Sally has had a truly positive impact on my life. She’s been consistently reliable and took the time to build a genuine sense of trust. Her therapy sessions have helped me get to the heart of things with patience and insightful guidance. I would recommend her to anyone looking for professional mental health support.”

What happens next?

Once you’ve contacted me, we’ll set up a mutually convenient time to have a chat on the phone. This is free of charge and lasts up to half an hour. If you decide you would like to go ahead after this, we will book in an introductory session where we can meet in person (or online if preferred).

Clients usually come for counselling once a week, often at the same time. Sessions last for 50 minutes. Whilst initially it is ideal for the sessions to take place weekly to help build a strong working relationship, I appreciate that this is not always possible and I am happy to accommodate different requirements.
