Supporting you through life & career transitions
Relationships + Midlife + Relocation + Parenthood + Uncertainty + Shifts in identity + Career change + Redundancy + Retirement + Anxiety + Burnout
Change is a part of life.
Sudden and unsettling, unwanted or planned, it almost always requires a degree of adjustment.
Perhaps you are in the process of changing your life – facing up to life post-divorce, adjusting to an empty nest, relocating, contemplating a career change or retirement.
You may not know which path to take, faced with a crossroads or a number of options. Your sense of self and of your role in life may be called into question. Or maybe a change of circumstances has left you reeling and unable to cope.
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
I support clients with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to:
Life transitions: adulting, parenthood, quarter- or midlife crisis, empty nest syndrome, separation, divorce, relationship issues, adapting to illness, injury or caring responsibilities, menopause, relocation
Career transitions: career change, returning to work after a break, promotion, redundancy, retirement, shifts in identity and purpose
Mental wellbeing: stress, anxiety, panic attacks, burnout, overthinking, impostor syndrome, confidence, motivation
How we can work together through change
I’m a talk therapist, and our work begins with understanding you - your experience, values, circumstances and what matters to you. I aim to create an open, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable talking honestly about whatever is on your mind. Together, we can explore what has brought you here, how change is affecting you and what you may be leaving behind or moving towards.
Transitions can bring complicated emotions. You may be experiencing grief, anxiety, uncertainty or guilt alongside relief, excitement or hope. Counselling gives you the space to make sense of these feelings and to explore how the changes you are facing may be affecting your identity, relationships, priorities or sense of direction.
Our work is collaborative. I’m not here to give you solutions or tell you what you should do, but to support and, where helpful, gently challenge you to gain greater insight into your experiences and discover your own way forward.
My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic models and my experience to meet your individual needs. You are always at the heart of our conversations, and we will work at a pace that feels right for you, whether you need a few sessions to navigate a particular transition or longer-term support as you adjust to a new phase of life.
