Hello, I'm
Counselling Psychologist in Grantham, Lincolnshire
I’m Sarah, a Counselling Psychologist based in Grantham, Lincolnshire, providing confidential psychological therapy for adults and teenagers both locally and online.
I was born in Lincolnshire and am proud to have returned to the area to establish my private practice at The Therapy Rooms, 12 Main Street, Barrowby, NG32 1BZ, just outside Grantham. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where adults and young people can feel heard, understood and supported.
I completed my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at Regent’s University London in 2010 and have worked in psychological therapies and mental health services in the UK and internationally.
Throughout my career, I have worked across a range of specialist settings, including:
-
Mental health services for adult outpatients
-
Inpatient child and adolescent mental health services
-
Specialist adult and child and adolescent eating disorder services
-
Looked-after children's services
-
Women’s health settings, including drop-in centres and reproductive health clinics
This breadth of experience has given me an understanding of the different ways psychological difficulties can affect people at different stages of life.
My Experience and Specialist Areas
I bring over 15 years of experience working with adults, teenagers and families, including people experiencing complex and long-standing mental health difficulties.
My specialist experience includes:
-
Adolescent mental health: working with young people and families experiencing complex presentations, including self-harm and suicidal thoughts
-
Eating disorders: specialist experience with adults and young people, with training in MANTA and CBT-E approaches
-
Neuro-affirming practice: experience supporting supporting clients with adhd and autism, including people experiencing sensory processing differences and challenges
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): trained in DBT-informed therapeutic approaches to support emotional regulation and coping
-
Flexible therapy: appointments are available in person in Barrowby, near Grantham, or online, making psychological support accessible wherever you are
Supporting Adults, Teenagers and Young People
I’m passionate about supporting people through periods when life can feel particularly difficult or overwhelming.
For adults, this may include difficulties with anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem, relationships, life changes, emotional wellbeing or feeling stuck. Therapy can provide an opportunity to slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing and develop new ways of coping.
I also have a particular interest in adolescent and young adult mental health. Growing up and transitioning into adulthood can bring significant emotional and psychological challenges. Pressures relating to school, university, work, friendships, relationships, family life, social media and major life transitions can all affect mental health and wellbeing.
I provide psychological therapy for teenagers and young people in Grantham, Lincolnshire and the surrounding areas, creating a safe and compassionate environment where they can talk openly, explore their experiences and develop a better understanding of themselves.
My Approach
I believe effective psychological therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, openness, compassion and respect.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I work collaboratively with each person, taking the time to understand their individual experiences, needs and goals. My aim is to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, without judgement, while supporting you to make meaningful changes in your life.
Alongside my professional life, I’m a full-time working mother of two wonderful children. I have lived and worked in the UK, the Middle East and the USA, experiences which have given me a broad appreciation of different cultures, perspectives and ways of life.
I love travelling and exploring different cultures, and I value the opportunity to meet and work with people from diverse backgrounds.
Professional Registration & Membership
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
