Hi I'm Sara, a HCPC registered psychologist. I specialise in supporting adults who are healing from difficult life experiences, suffering with anxiety, low mood, and/or navigating stressful life transitions/events.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed — which means we’ll work together to understand your unique experiences, not just apply a one-size-fits-all model. I combine evidence-based approaches with a warm, collaborative style.

I know that starting therapy can feel daunting. My role is to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore difficult feelings at your own pace. We’ll focus on both practical coping tools for the here-and-now and deeper understanding of patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Before I started ThriveMind Therapy, I spent over 20 years working in some of the toughest environments:

🚨 High-security prisons & hospital

🏥 NHS acute mental health wards

I’ve worked with people facing the sharpest edge of crisis — where emotions are overwhelming, life feels out of control, and ‘talking about it’ feels impossible.

That’s why my therapy style is:

✔ Trauma-informed

✔ Practical and grounded

✔ Focused on helping you regain control, not just reflect on problems

I’m not fazed by complex emotions, distressing thoughts, or when life feels chaotic.

If you need a therapist who can hold space for the hard stuff and still help you move forward — I’m here.
