Sarah has worked extensively with people with complex and difficult experiences and has recently also developed an interest in how psychological issues affect the body.

Alongside her work at Talking Heads, Sarah also works as a Psychologist in a Clinical Health Psychology Team in the NHS.
“I try to create a safe and compassionate space for people to be able to share and work on what is important to them. I know from personal and professional experience how powerful and healing it can be to feel heard and held in a therapy setting and I became a Psychologist to give back and help others to feel supported and understand themselves in the space we create together. I use an integrative approach, drawing from different models with a focus on what works for my client, what they feel comfortable with and how we can work together towards their goals.”
