Sara works with adults, couples and families, and also has experience supporting children from early years through to adolescence. She provides individual, couple, and family therapy, alongside parent support, using a holistic, systemically informed approach. She is adept in supporting neurodivergent children and young people (ADHD, autism) and their families, working in a neurodiversity-affirmative and strengths-based way.
Sara supports a broad range of difficulties including anxiety, low mood and depression, OCD, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, grief, self-esteem, stress and burnout, social skills challenges, behaviour concerns, and identity exploration. She also has significant experience supporting couples and families with relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, separation and divorce, and high-conflict family dynamics, helping clients strengthen communication, rebuild emotional connection, and navigate change more effectively.
Her therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-led, integrating systemic family therapy with CBT and DBT informed approaches including RO DBT, emotion focused family therapy, mentalisation-based work, and parenting interventions. Where appropriate, Sara works closely with schools and other professionals to ensure joined up and meaningful support for children and adolescents.
Sara is known for her warm, thoughtful, and reflective style, creating a safe and supportive space where individuals, couples, and families feel heard, understood, and supported to make meaningful and sustainable change. She is committed to ongoing professional development and evidence-based practice.
