Together, we'll make the change you need.
Through careful exploration, we can untangle what's underneath your difficulties. We can work together to reduce anxiety and stress, using a therapeutic approach tailored to you.
I'll be a consistent source of support to help build your confidence and hold healthy boundaries. My previous work has helped people feel more calm, more able to deal with life and ultimately, more like themselves.
I'm Sally, a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.
I’m a practicing Psychotherapeutic Counsellor based in Thurmaston, Leicester. I am committed to providing high quality counselling and therapy, with a warm, human feel.
I am experienced in helping clients with:
-
Relationship difficulties
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Depression
-
Repeating patterns of behaviour
-
Low self confidence / self esteem
-
Trauma and dissociation
-
Childhood sexual abuse
I am a counsellor at Quetzal, supporting women recovering from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. I have witnessed clients build self-awareness, create healthy boundaries for themselves and learn to manage their intense feelings. I am listed on the Quetzal Counsellor Directory as a trauma-informed counsellor.
I’m also a qualified yoga teacher. Although I don’t do yoga with my clients, my experience with yoga means that the body is central in my work. I feel that our society overvalues cognition, when there is so much to be learnt from the body, the breath and the nervous system.
Prior to training as a therapist, I worked at Loughborough University for seven years in student support roles and now work as a Mental Health Mentor for university students across the country. I have deep understanding of the student life-cycle and specifically how this applies to students with ADHD and autism.
I am trained by the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute to work with adults (18+) in a relational developmental way. I am currently undertaking research to achieve my MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy.
