Sarah Allison Counselling

Counselling offers opportunities for change with dedicated time to explore any issues you may wish to bring. I use a variety of counselling models such as Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural, Solution Focussed, Brief Therapy and Sand Tray, thus my integrative style is tailor made for your individual needs.

The aim is to work towards a resolution of any difficulties which may be preventing you gaining a healthy balance in your life. Interested in humanity since early childhood I believe in the diversity and wonder of the 'human spirit'.

I believe in each individual's ability to find their own path at times of uncertainty, given a supportive and nurturing environment. Every day can be full of possibilities if we choose to accept who we are.

I have been very fortunate to have worked with individuals and families for many years. As a Humanistic Counsellor, I believe in social inclusion not exclusion. Counselling is one way of facilitating self acceptance. This can lead to greater understanding and creativity in everyday living. The way in which we express ourselves relates directly to who we are. How often do we find time to access our hidden creativity? No two people are the same. Our individual uniqueness can flourish and be celebrated when time and space is offered.

I believe in self worth, value diversity of experience and offer each individual dignity and respect during counselling. Taking the first step can be daunting but the possibilities are limited only by our imaginations. Creativity can be the key to unlocking our potential.

Do you find the world appears to be moving ever faster, leaving less time for reflection and understanding? If you feel as though you are about to fall off or would like some quality time for yourself, then Counselling may be the answer.

I currently offer sessions to help with:

* Loss and Bereavement
* Anxiety
* Panic Attacks
* Exam Nerves
* Depression
* Addictions
* Relationship Issues
* Work Related Stress
* Personal Development

As a counsellor I offer idividuals undivided attention by the provision of a safe and supportive working environment. This, in turn, facilitates honesty and trust. Once rapport has been established individuals will be able to draw upon and make the most of their inner resources. Ultimately balance is restored.
