Sarah Forrester

We can have a chat about what your needs are - and I will do my best to work around your schedule.  

We all have times in our lives when quite frankly we could do with someone to talk to in complete confidence and without fear of feeling judged. I can provide a safe space for you to work through your worries.

I am a qualified Person Centered Counsellor working in the heart of the local community. I believe everybody has the right to be listened to and truly heard in times when life feels a little more difficult. 

I am continually updating my skills and engaging in further training in different topics so that I am able to expand my knowledge, so that I can support a broad range of people. It is really important to me that I provide a professional, supportive and meaningful therapeutic experience for my Clients

I also work in a local agency whereby I have a dual role. My work is split between being a Therapy Co-Ordination Manager carrying out assessments and assessing Client needs in order to put in place the best support for individuals. I also work as a Counsellor in this location as well as working in private practice.

Hi there, I am Sarah, thank you for taking the time to read about my Therapy services. I am a Person Centred Counsellor, which means that I believe you know yourself better than anyone else, I will empower you and help you come to your own decisions and conclusions.

In a comfortable and peaceful setting, I can offer you a non judgmental and confidential place to explore your thoughts and feelings. During the sessions I will not only listen to you, but I will hear you and will do my best to understand what it is like to walk in your shoes. I am a firm believer in whatever it is you are going through, problems shared with a trusted person, can be problems halved.

I bring my authentic self to the therapy room; I am a genuine person who wants to help you make improvements to your mental health and wellbeing. I have been told by past Clients in feedback that I am "warm, friendly, human, easy to talk to.."

I can help you work through your worries. Sometimes, people just like to talk and that is okay. However sometimes, if you like, we can use props like mood cards, art material or small thought provoking exercises which might help you understand yourself or situations better. It is all about you - helping you to get through the tough times, helping you to come out the other side and live more peacefully and find joy in life again.

As well as being a Counsellor, I am also a Student Solution focused Hypnotherapist which is very interesting!

I am able to work with individual adults.

I am happy to offer you a half hour free telephone consultation beforehand to establish your needs and to answer any questions you may have.   

During your first session thereafter, we will have a chat about any particular areas or goals you may have, answer a few questions to gauge how life is for you prior to commencing therapy, and chat through how we can work together.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in knowing more.  Thank you.

Best Wishes, Sarah
