Sarah McKinley-Lambert

I have availability to take on new clients straight away. I work flexibly through the working week. Usual hours of Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm but do have some limited availability for evening appointments on Mondays and Thursdays. No holidays currently booked but will let any clients know at the soonest possible time so they have as much notice as possible.

Hi, I'm Sarah from Metis Counselling - a integrative counsellor based mainly within the Person Centred Modality. My background was in Psychology and Forensic Psychology at university then working within a Medium Secure Ward for patients with Acquired Brain Injuries and Mental Health Issues for 5 years. After this I trained to become a counsellor and have been a counsellor since 2020 delivering individual therapy sessions. I spent 4 years managing a counselling project in Chester and Cheshire West, mentoring trainee counsellors during their placement, working with GP referrals and my own client case load. I created and delivered LGBTQIA+ Awareness workshops and adapted 5 Ways to Wellbeing workshops for remote delivery.

I adapt my approach to counselling to suit the individual I am working with. Each client's needs are unique lending to that my approach with each client needs to match this. I am based within the Person Centred Modality so really value the therapeutic relationship being the most vital part of the counselling process. I deliver the counselling remotely either via phone or video session whichever best suits you as the client. I aim to be as accessible as possible for everyone who feels they need counselling support to be able to engage with counselling. 

If you would like to know more you can book in an introductory phone call, this is 15 minutes and free of charge to ensure that you are comfortable with me as the counsellor. I recommend you finding a counsellor you 'click' with in order to gain best results from your counselling experience. I will go over some contracting information and make sure that we are both aware of the expectations of each other moving forward into the counselling relationship.

I have availability to take on supervisees straight away. My usual working hours are Monday to Friday 10am - 6pm but do have some limited availability for evening appointments on Mondays and Thursdays. No current holidays booked but will always tell supervisees at earliest possible time after booking so have as much notice as possible to any leave.

Hi - I'm Sarah from Metis Counselling. I am a Clinical Supervisor for Counsellors. I used the Seven Eyed Model to help counsellors explore their client work and how the bigger picture impacts their therapeutic work. I offer a safe space for counsellors to ensure they feel able to bring any and all concerns but to also celebrate the progress, reflect on what has worked and inspire growth in all counsellors. I want all my supervisees feel empowered in their counselling skills.

I also provide supervisory supervision for other clinical supervisors. Here we can reflect on the supervisions you have delivered, ensure best practice for your supervisees and enhance your knowledge and skill as a supervisor. All supervisions for counsellors and supervisors will be a time to check any safeguarding concerns and the process to follow if any safeguarding issues arise.

I have worked for 4 years mentoring trainee counsellors during their placement hours and really enjoyed seeing the growth in confidence and counselling skills. I deliver supervision for private counsellors, counsellors working within an agency setting, trainee counsellors during their placements and do have some contracted work for supervision for other mental health professionals. I deliver supervision remotely - this can be over the phone or via video session - whatever best suits you as the supervisee.

You can book in for an introductory call which is 15 minutes and free of charge to check for connection and suitability. I advise you when looking for a supervisor to ensure you find a person who you click with and feel safe to bring all and any issues with to promote you giving your best work to your clients. We would go over all contracting during the first session to ensure that our expectations are aligned and any reasonable adjustments be made to help us both gain the most benefit from the supervisory relationship.
