Counselling in-person from Cambridge & Hitchin and online

Supporting you through life & career changes

Change is an inevitable part of life.

Whether sudden or gradual, wanted or unexpected, it can unsettle us and often requires time and space to adjust.

Perhaps you’re navigating a new chapter in your life such as finding your feet after divorce, adjusting to an empty nest, settling somewhere new, questioning your career direction or preparing for retirement.

You may find yourself at a crossroads, unsure which direction to take or overwhelmed by the choices in front of you. A significant transition can also leave you questioning who you are and where you fit, or struggling to adjust when circumstances have changed in ways you didn’t expect.

Welcome. I’m Sarah and I’m a counsellor specialising in life and career transitions.

Sometimes it helps to have someone to talk things through with, because these changes can often bring uncertainty, anxiety or indecision and may be bound up with a shift in identity and purpose.   

A qualified therapist, I am also a person who has had to face change in her own life and gets how disorienting it can feel. I know how valuable it can be to have a sounding board - an independent ear to listen and explore your emotions with when life feels uncertain - someone to help you figure out how to move forward.

Therapy with me is about finding space to connect to your emotions, understand who you are and what you want in life, which patterns serve you well and which ones hold you back. It is also an opportunity to explore your unique values and consider your purpose in life.

Issues I work with

Life Transitions

Relationships ending or beginning. A move, a loss, a quiet question about who you are now. Change can bring uncertainty about what’s ahead and how to deal with it. Counselling gives you the space to think about how to navigate it.

  • Adapting to university life, parenthood, an empty nest or becoming a carer

  • Relationship difficulties, separation or divorce

  • Loss, grief or bereavement

  • Adapting to illness or injury

  • Midlife crisis & menopause

  • Moving home, relocating

Career Transitions

Redundancy, midlife shifts in motivation and purpose. Work is at the heart of who we are, so when things change unexpectedly or your job no longer feels fulfilling, counselling offers you time to recalibrate, understand what you want and find direction.

  • Career change, promotion & retirement

  • Redundancy or job loss

  • Changes in identity, direction or purpose

  • Returning to work after a break

  • Life-work balance

  • Work-related stress, anxiety & burnout

  • Issues at work including conflict, harassment and bulliying

How I can support you through change

I’m a talk therapist, and our work begins with understanding you, your experiences and what matters to you. I aim to create an open, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable exploring whatever is on your mind.

Transitions can bring a mix of emotions, from anxiety, grief and uncertainty to relief, excitement and hope. Counselling offers space to make sense of these feelings, understand what the changes mean for you and find support as you find your way through them.

Working collaboratively, I’ll support and gently challenge you to gain greater insight into your experiences and find your own way forward. As an integratively trained counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs, working at your pace whether you need a few sessions to navigate a particular transition or longer-term support as you adjust to a new phase in your life.
