Sarah has 12 years experience as a Clinical Psychotherapist. Sarah utilises theoretical and practical interventions, through the observation of the client’s discrepancies, mixed messages, conflict, and incongruity in the client’s statements and behaviours. These inconsistencies are an important part of the client’s difficulties and concerns. The resolution of these discrepancies is central to the counselling process. As a therapist, Sarah provides an environment that disrupts clients’ current levels of functioning, to move the client toward change and renewed progression. The focus of Sarah’s counselling style is on the client-therapist relationship, which research has indicated to be the most important factor in successful therapy. Collaboration occurs to develop a warm, genuine, empathetic and professional therapeutic alliance. This ensures a safe and nurturing environment to communicate and explore issues. Sarah uses evidence-based techniques shown to improve psychological well-being and empower each client to cope more effectively with their lives. Sarah selects psychological technique that research and experience has shown to be most effective for each client. Techniques are derived from cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, existential therapy and solution focused therapy. https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/454952
