Sally O'Connell

Please contact me for my availability.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by trauma, shame, anxiety, or grief? I offer a deeply compassionate, safe, and completely non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.My approach is rooted in person-centred counselling. This means I place your unique experience at the heart of our work together. I combine an intelligent understanding of human psychology with a loving, deeply empathetic presence. Together, we will work to understand your challenges, untangle complex emotions, and help you reconnect with your inner strength.  

I work exclusively with adults and have a vast ocean of experience helping clients navigate deep-rooted emotional difficulties, including: Trauma and abuse, Shame and low self-esteem, Depression and anxiety, Loss, grief, and bereavement.  Chronic stress and burnout.  

To support your unique healing journey, I can integrate specialized therapeutic tools into our sessions: Internal Family Systems (IFS) Aware: I bring an IFS-informed perspective to help you understand the different "parts" of yourself—especially those carrying pain or anxiety—with curiosity and compassion. 

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT): If you choose, we can utilize EFT (tapping) to help release emotional blocks and physically reduce the stress held within the body. 

I have a small private practice in South Somerset where I offer therapy, both in-person and online, providing flexibility to suit your lifestyle. 

 I offer a free initial telephone consultation. This gives us a chance to connect, discuss what you hope to get from therapy, and see if we are a good fit.
