About Therapy
Therapy is a space where you can talk openly and gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your feelings and difficulties. It is an opportunity to be listened to not with judgement, but with curiosity.
It is part of my role to offer new perspectives, identify patterns, connections and ask questions that encourage further reflection. Together we can start to better understand the connection between your experiences and any issues you may have.
The therapeutic work and an enhanced self-awareness can help to regain emotional balance, self-acceptance, and to find new ways to navigate life.
Being an integrative practitioner allows me to tailor the process, depending on individual needs. I draw on a range of approaches such as transactional analysis, psychodynamic and person-centred models to provide the support you require to explore and handle the issues with which you’re having difficulties. I believe in working relationally, so the therapeutic relationship is an integral part of my practice. The aim is to build an equal and honest relationship, which can serve as a model for other relationships too.
I really appreciated Sara's approach when I was navigating a delicate period in my life. She was an incredible listener and insightful observer, she helped me to think about things from a new perspective and held space for me when I felt emotional.
Sara helped me a lot during a particularly tough time in my life. I found her methods particularly effective as these tend to explore past events and how these weave in with present behaviour and patterns of thinking, eventually leading to how I might use these insights in the future. I always felt light after each session and more equipped to tackle the mundane after spending some time in the counselling session.
Working with Sara was a really welcoming experience. I had previously had some uncomfortable experiences with counselling, but Sara provided a really comfortable space where we worked together to adapt the style to one which fit both our needs. I left each session relaxed and also feeling more confident on how to cope with my emotions. Thank you Sara, it has completely changed my mindset on how important counselling can be.
About Me
I’m a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, registered member with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and work in accordance with their ethical framework.
I grew up in Budapest, Hungary (yes, I do offer sessions in Hungarian), where I studied modern languages and qualified as a language teacher. Since then, I have moved within and across borders several times, which has given me an appreciation and curiosity about people’s unique perspectives and experiences. Working as a teacher and volunteering in various therapeutic and educational settings made me realise that I am most motivated when I am contributing to people’s development and well-being.
I completed a foundation year in Psychodynamic Counselling at the Westminster Pastoral Foundation in London, followed by a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling at the Northern Guild in Newcastle, which is accredited by both BACP and UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).
